Foot To Chest Roll Hula Hoop Trick
Here’s a Cool Hoop Dance Combo
I’m actually doing this Foot to Chest Roll hula hoop trick in 3 parts. It’s an intermediate to advanced trick, depending on what all you do with it.
1. Hooping on the Hand.
Keeping the hoop engaged in wall plane with a flexed hand. And the hoop needs to be rotating IN to the body, or it will fly off in the other direction away from you, when you release it.
2. Slipping foot into the same position to take the place of the hand.
The rotating hoop moves off of the hand and slides on to the flexed foot. Extend the leg and keep that little rotational bounce going. A little strength and flexibility is needed here to hold that stance while keeping the hoop moving on the foot. You can cheat and hold your leg up to get just this portion–but you’re going to need your hand and arm for that next move…
3. Into The Chest Roll.
My tip for this is to keep your foot flexed (I call this the “brake” position). Then when you straighten/point your foot…that hoop is gonna FLY loose in the direction it is spinning! The straighter you keep your leg, it will have a straighter body roll line to follow (rather than kicking it up). Keep BOTH arms out straight, standing tall, with a small gentle upper back arch, and the head BACK (or you will bonk yourself in the face with your hula hoop as it tries to roll by).
You can also do a variation of a kick up, into a catch and roll. There are so many ways into this “Foot to Chest Roll” trick combination, and variations you can put on it to add your own style, pizzazz and signature stamp.
Here’s a fast :15 second video to see what it looks like!!! In-Joy! If you like stuff like this, please join my Hip The Hoopla e-mail tribe to get more juicy goodies of tips, tricks, news you can use, events and Hoopspiration! And even details of how you can join our Inner Circle membership.

Finding Hoop Community Groups and Links
Finding Flow Friends is Fun!
Finding Flow Friends
Other hula hoopers, spinners, flow artists
Sometimes we need a little help from our friends…or need to find some that share our common interests. Here’s some ideas to get you started:
Hooper Hookups–Facebook Group/Page and online recommendations from world-wide to city specific example:
♦ Hooping.org
♦ Fab♥ Over Forty Hoop Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/649559225124084/
♦ The Spin Summit
♦ Colorado Hoopers https://www.facebook.com/groups/coloradohooper/
♦ Denver Hula Hoop Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/133467753299/
Check out the Community Links at http://hipthehoopla.com/events-community/
♦ Also check out hooping in your community…Google where you are at
♦ Search on Facebook
♦ Check out hoop forums
♦ Craigslist sometimes has events, teachers, or hoop makers listed
♦ Meetup.com can be helpful
You might try some of these “keywords” helpful to search for:
Hoops, Hula Hoops, Hooping, Hoopers, Jam, Classes, Instructors, Teachers, Props, Flow Community, Flow Artists, Spinners, Burners, Fire Dancers, Circus Arts
Whatever your method(s) you choose to find your flow buddies will be very helpful to you and your growth, plus you can share what you know, as well–Win/Win! Finding others in the community will increase your learning experience exponentially by exposing you to new things to try. Now go find your people! You’ll discover you aren’t so weird or alone in your process.
Good luck and happy hooping!
Finding your flow friends–happy, happy, joy, joy!
