FLICKER: Flicking hoop up extended arm while doing backwards lean, and-across neck, up-other-arm to opposite hand... a continuous body roll diagonally across body including both arms.
CROWN: Head stall carry
LONG-JUMP: Under extended leg swing directly to under other jumping leg swing
SWOOSH: Forward under thigh swing which looks like swinging hoop directly underneath crotch
EROTIC: Sitting on floor leaning back on both elbows with legs spread eagle in the air and out to the sides, almost in splits, while spinning a hoop on one foot.
TANGO: Standing with hoop vertical on the floor and twisting it on the top with one hand while stepping sideways, one foot over the other, then the other foot continuing out the the side.. creates a continuous in and out sensation while the hoop is twisting.
Getting deep with articulations of shoulder carries whicle twisting spine, while continuously turning. Alternating the shoulder carry with all the vairations of hand carries possible.
Body breaks galore! Especially off thighs facing forward transitioning to off bum
Arching back and kicking legs
Exploring continual jumps and step-throughs from every direction.
Vogue-ing while hooping or just moving between poses as an entry
It is so amazing to play with someone who you don't normally hang out with because you can teach eachother so much! Shredder has been in the circus for a while and was doing all kinds of crazy hand stand walks and foot pick up/flips with the hoop. In the past I might have felt intimidated, saying to myself... "o my gosh! I have to learn that!" But really, I am quite at home in my funky dance boogie while hooping with a couple tricks sprinkled in to jazz it up and playing more with theatrics. It feels so good to know where my home is in my dance! But I really admire that she set for herself a goal of learning these things and then ran out and joined the circus and learned it all! Amazing. What a beautiful woman!
Thank you Creator for sending Erin into my life again. I really appreciate being able to learn from others as much as others learn from me! Thank you for inspiration! Yippie for hoop play time every day!
