4 Elements to Boost Your Hoop Dance Creativity
How can you inspire creativity to your hula hoop dance flow?
By borrowing an idea from Mother Nature, you can incorporate the four elements of Earth, Air, Wind, and Fire to boost your hoop dance creativity. Inject some #hoopspiration into your hoop dance practice. So get out of your boredom rut. Surpass your static plateau. What movement essences of these elements can you inject into your happy hooping to get you overflowing with ideas to try?
EARTH
Earth has the feeling of being grounded. It’s sturdy, solid, and foundational.
For Elemental EARTH Hooping Try:
• Actually connecting your hoop to the ground.
• Or connecting various parts of your body on the ground.
• Perhaps try foot hooping while lying down.
AIR
Air is the element of lightness and breezy movement. Unless you’re taking on twisting tornado energy!
For Elemental AIR Hooping Try:
• Hoop tosses.
• Moving your hoop through space and tracing it’s movement with your other hand.
WATER
Water flows, ripples and waves. Water can have gentle swish and grace.
For Elemental WATER Hooping Try:
•”Walk The Dog” hoop trick and variations.
• Linear Isolations.
• Cat-Eyes.
• Escalators.
FIRE
Fire heats, seduces, and burns.
For Elemental FIRE Hooping Try:
• Experiment with Anti-Spin Flowers.
• Wack yourself with some Wedgies.
These are just some of the interpretations of these elements.
How you interpret these elements can be completely unique to your experience and perspective. Try meditating, journaling, or mind-mapping on the ideas of what each element means to you.
And if you are an aficionado of Feng Shui, you can change things up using their ancient 5 elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. These elements can flow in a constructive or destructive cycle, depending on how you use it. The Feng Shui elements also have corresponding colors,”cures” or remedies, areas of the body, and emotions associated with them. So you see, you can really go down the rabbit hole of creativity, pretty fast!
Bring a buddy, so you can find your way back. ♥

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show~Imagine with Ann Humphreys
Hoop Love Ya’ll Show
Health, Humor and Hooping with Che’ Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla
“Imagine” Show Special Guest Ann Humphreys
This edition of the Hoop Love Ya’ll Show we have a very *special* guest Ann Humphreys of Line and Circle bringing and teaching her core foundation hoop workshop, all the way from North Carolina, USA. This is a very special show edition–filled with personal stories with Ann and Che’, a little learnin’, a lot of laughing, and of course we get hooping! You’ll learn some great master tips, so grab your hoop and In~Joy! Welcome to the circle♥
~ Hoop love ya’ll from Che’ Rippinger, your host and founder of Hip The Hoopla~Humorous Hoop Dance and Happy Health
Topics we explore:
Ann’s core hooping has a history and a beautiful journey. Her new endeavors have come through dealing with her own health issues, what she has learned, and what she does now to achieve a beautifully stunning physique–not only through her long love of hoop dancing, but also her more recent path of weight and power lifting. Learn what “brown fat” is and why being cold can be a sign of some other things. Ann also mentions she was once a smoker, and why she’s never going back to that. She actively demonstrates how being a beautiful hooper on the inside and outside, has nothing to do with age or even experience, when you use your journey to imagine your own life, path, and goals.
She leads us in some mastery lessons for new and experienced hoopers how to use your root chakra, hips, leading and following legs and arms and how to engage the heart in a beautiful flow of mesmerizing chest hooping. Funny story of how Jonathan Baxter unites many hoopers (including Ann and Che’!) from his Hoop Path Training. His “going blind” technique using a blindfold, really helps get you in tune with your movement and soulful relation to your hoop. Ann also humors Che’ by showing a couple of coin and jawbreaker moves she’s working on, courtesy of fellow hooper Dizzy Dynamic.

Che Rippinger in Hooping Idol 7!
Che Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla accepted into the 21 Hooping Idol 7 Contestants
Representing Denver, Colorado and the Fabulous Over 40 Hoop Community, I’m very excited, and extremely honored to be a part of the worldwide talent pool who threw their hats in the mix to take part. It’s a life-changing and personally meaningful goal for me to make it in. Let’s see how far I can go in this global competition that is one of the highlights of our hooping communities year!
I will need viewer votes, aka lots of friends, family and colleagues casting ballots on Hooping.org to continue on in the competition. Tune in on Monday 4/17 to view my work and cast your vote.
The first theme is “70’s Week” and we all have just 4 days to create a video that showcases our dance, personality, hooping and a good story. As for who makes it to the next round, 60% is viewer/voter determined, and 40% is decided by 4 amazing internationally known professional hooper judges. 6 talented beings will be cut on the very first round! Like many competitions, there are many factors that determine success. One is how relatable and personable we are to our audience. So it’s not just technical hoop skills alone, that will determine the ultimate winner. Everyone has their own source of brilliance that make them unique.
Thank you for following me on this journey. Please enjoy the following 3 short videos:
1. My “Casting Call” audition video
2. Finding out that I made it in!
3. A little bit on voting for Hooping Idol 7 on Hooping.org.
Thanks for watching, supporting, and believing in me!
Hoop Love, Ya’ll!
~Che’ Rippinger, Founder of Hip The Hoopla
