“O” Wow Tricks That Can Inspire Your Performance
by Ché Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla
Having just seen the “O” show in Las Vegas at The Bellagio, I can tell you that I was in awe, inspired, and yep… just a little proud of myself to do what I do and am able to share with others from what I learn from others, and also figure out for myself.
Mini Review of “O”
The cast was Huge: Acrobats, swimmers, divers, gymnasts, actors, fire performers, Lyra aerial hoop artists, trapeze artists, contortionists, dancers, clowns, musicians, etc.
The set was mind-boggling: Water, fountains, fire, ever-changing stage, aerial, floating gymnastic pirate ship, a suspended moving frame, hoops, ladders, swinging dive boards…and more.
AND: So many people made this a dynamic, interactive, thoughtful, colorful, mesmerizing, nail-biting and yes, epic, performance. Thumbs WAY up! Go see it if there is any way you can. It has a home at The Bellagio, as the staging is rather complicated, to say the least. And it’s not exactly easily portable.
Here is the official video trailer of the “O” show:
http://youtu.be/Vm11jzx7Ka0
On that inspirational note,
Here are some tricks of the trade to improve your next performance:
What Makes a Great Performance like anything Cirque du Soleil does come together? …A lot of what I constantly teach and promote in Hip The Hoopla classes.
1. Practice. You have to be at the top of your game, or at least prepare to be your own personal best. Although we want to instantly be brilliant at something, it takes a lot of time not being that, to get there. Be willing to put in the time and effort towards perfection. Even if you fall short of that ideal, you will have advanced and improved greatly!
2. Polish. That last 1-5% can make all the difference in the world with how things look in the final production of whatever you are doing. For dance your clean and long body lines, great expression, costumes that move well without fuss, and performing bigger to your best ability all drive the overall image and what others experience as a result. Put it all out there and leave nothing behind. As they say, “Go big, or go Home.”
3. Persistence. So you don’t get something on your first try. Or your 100th. Keep going. You may be 2 tries short of getting it, so don’t give up. How many Edison light bulbs didn’t work until one variation finally did? It’s more than you might think.
And lastly, enjoy yourself! If you make whatever you are doing look enjoyable, than others will believe it to be true. If this is genuine within yourself, all the hard work to make things look easy and effortless, will completely be worth all of your time and dedication. Your heart will always show in what you do, if you let it.

4 Easy Grab Bag Tips + Tricks To Hoop & Dance Happy
What can help tweak your Hoop/Dance/Movement practice? Here’s a few tips and tricks to add to your mental note’s bag, plus a bonus!
by Ché Rippinger
1. Make Time. Yep-Craft your own clock. Well really carving out a bit of the schedule you currently over-cram with everything else-important and not. Sometimes a whole hour is unrealistic, and a half hour even still may be too much to fit in, too. But 5 minutes is doable for anyone. That’s just, “turn on the music, grab the hoop(s) and have at it for one song.” And for the best in your body…
2. Start very slow…warm up…jam and play…cool down. Sometimes we skip these simple steps, and then our bodies let us know how and why that’s not a good idea. Start simply with an over all wiggle, shimmy, or anything movement-wise, that is gentle getting the blood flowing to all the big body parts. Roll your head and shoulders, sway the rib cage, rock the hips, bend and flex the legs, feet, arms and hands. Start out with smaller motions and then progress to bigger ones, then dial it back down to small again. Simple-Oui?!
3. Keep an area reasonably clear for your dance/hooping/yoga/movement/meditation practice. If you have a dedicated space–or at least one that is easily convertible so you can double-duty the area…you will be more motivated to use it. If you cannot show it to others, or you have to close the door on it, then how much happy inspiration and sweetly calling your name is it doing for you?!
4. Just Dance! Sometimes we are so hyper-focused on getting whatever new trick or move, that we don’t connect them very well, or infuse our love of hooping and dance with our own personal style. It doesn’t matter what your background is…whatever– bring it to the table! Dance it out! If you are alone, who cares what you look like. And if you are with others…whatever you think is goofy, may appear fabulous and inspirational for someone else (it happens All the time!).
Ha! #5…A Bonus Tip:
5. Connect with people! Online and in-person groups, classes, and jams will join you with others experiencing similar issues, questions, and advice and is great for sharing your little progress points.
As always, go forth and hoop, dance and laugh yourself happy!
Come experience a “Grab Bag ‘O Goodies” with us!

3 Steps to Joy: The “Play Moves” of Hip The Hoopla
Sometimes we take ourselves WAY too Seriously. Here’s 3 Quick “Play Moves” aka steps, to incorporate a more joy and lightness in your day.
1. Smile. We underestimate the powerful chain effect of this. When someone shares a genuine smile with you, it is an understated, but highly communicative gesture of good will. Your endorphins go up when you observe the smiles of others. And less facial muscles are needed to smile than to frown, so it should be easier your daily facial workout!
2. Laugh. It’s one of the fastest, best and most positive ways to quickly and fully oxygenate your body’s cells. A great belly laugh is an excellent strategy for deep breathing. They say “Laughter is the best medicine.” Norman Cousins proved it by healing himself after a weighty health diagnosis by watching comedies. That all important and essential laughter, triggers an endorphin rush of happy body chemistry which helps cells heal. Laughter is also contagious! Need proof? Watch giggling baby videos on YouTube! The Vegas Nerve is a reactionary response in our body. You see others laugh, and it triggers your laughter, too. The Vegas nerve is also responsive to crying and some say yawning, as well.
3. Play. You know how kids are encouraged to “go play” because it’s good exercise? Well adults need it too. Our “grown-up” play is just more highly marketed so you spend money to do it! Las Vegas, vacations and buying expensive mechanical toys are all part of the ploy. But it can be as simple as playing tag football in the park, or grabbing a “hula” hoop and having at it with reckless childlike abandon. Have you ever noticed, there’s very little “I will look stupid doing this,” aka “adult ego” action going on, when a kid picks up a hoop? They just do it and don’t care about looking silly. We could take a page from their book.
If we add even five little minutes a day of these to our own daily habits, we could enjoy our own “responsible” lives with a exponential increase in fun, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. Just imagine: how much better could we feel on the inside and out?!
Thank you for taking the time to read this and improve your day. Please share this with others!
