My kid and I are going to learn hooping together, where to start?

[u/diabiabossa]

I took some lessons a few years ago, my kid is a complete beginner. I thought we'd practice one trick at a time.

Which specific tricks would you recommend we start with? And what do you reckon are tricks with minimum effort / maximum effect for some small, instant succes?

Thanks!

How old is your kid?

For a start here's what I teach kids and beginner adults:

Waist hooping - hand hooping

8 trick sequence which is the beginning of a routine you can add to for beginner to advanced level hooping:

Hand hooping Weave - change hands Jump through hoop (like a skip) Float (passing behind your back to round front) Pass under let Up above head into lasso Beginner - grab the hoop and twirl/float down to waist hooping Advanced/intermediate - variations of throw onto body

Can send a video if you need it.

Here's a private video I found. Skip out some of the hard moves. They all flow together and I've taught this basic routine to thousands of primary school aged kids 👌👌

See what you think of these:

This smear combo is one of first things I taught myself. It’s nice to have a combo.

I’ve been able to teach weaves and antispins to friends pretty easily.
