What do you do when you drop your hoop? I saw this as a Facebook post from Hoop Girl a while ago. She posted the question and her response was something to do with spanking her own behind while covering her mouth with her other hand…..I know at least one guy who would love this.
If you want to be a good hoop dancer than you better be dropping your hoop, a lot. Taking risks and perfecting difficult moves means dropping the hoop. The only mistake you can make is not picking your hoop again. I was hooping at muscle beach in LA one sunny Sunday afternoon in the summer. I was on the green filled with acrobats practicing their craft. My hoop was a – flying and not on purpose, I even hit a few people, which I don’t recommend. What I remember from that day was how much fun I had and how much better I got from that hoop practice. That experience took my hooping to the next level because I was not afraid to mess up.
Like my yoga practice I call my hula hooping sessions “hoop practice” because that’s what I am doing, practicing , (unless I am performing). Hoop practice allows me a humble approach to perfecting the living art of hula hoop dancing. When I drop my hoop in a performance or in hoop practice I pick it up and I keep smiling and hooping.
Hoop on hula hooper!
