Before you try to learn fancy tricks and twirls, it's important to be comfortable with the space in and around your hoop. This is an essential foundation for shoulder hooping & helps to "connect" you with the hoop.
Play with the space...look down as your hooping, and dip your hands in and out. Get comfortable with where your hands can be at any given moment, without actually touching the hoop. Try this hooping in both directions, with both hands. When you feel ready, try it blindfolded (might want to bring your hoop outdoors for that one).
I promise it will help EVERY other aspect of your hooping, and help you find your "flow". Here's an example that I put together yesterday. There's some shoulder hooping and over-the-head maneuvers in the video, but don't worry about doing that stuff for now. Just focus on playing with the space...the rest will follow.

Are you going to be deleting your EC? I'm running into lots of folks rejecting with that note, and so wondered if you also contemplating that?
Thanks
