September 4th Red Deer Hula Hoop Meet Up

Date: 2010.08.31 | Category: Red Deer Hula Hoopers | Response: 0

We are having our regular meet up this Saturday, but please be aware that we are trying a new time and location. We decided it may be better to hold it right at the Market following it closing at noon.

So please come out and join us at noon at the Red Deer Market (at the hula hoop stall). We’d love to have you out! As always, new people are welcome. The event is free and fun!

See you there!

Hula Hoop Sale Tomorrow

Date: 2010.08.13 | Category: Hula Hoop Sale, HulaHoopers.ca General Information, Red Deer Hula Hoopers | Response: 0

Tomorrow I will be selling some hula hoops for a wonderfully discounted price of $30 a hoop at the Red Deer Market. These hula hoops made a cross province trip with me and got a bit dusty from being strapped to the back of the van. They are still beautiful and function perfectly, but I would not want to sell these hula hoops for full price.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these hula hoops on sale but cannot make it to the market today, leave a comment or send me an email and I will send you pictures of the hoops and send them to you. I will send these hoops via mail for a price of $40 (a $20 discount on the original price!).

This is a great opportunity to pick up a new size of hula hoop for a great price! =)

Hula Hoop Breaks and Reversals Tutorials

Date: 2010.07.30 | Category: Hula Hoop Tutorial | Response: 0

I have noticed quite a few questions online lately about how to do breaks and reversals using your hula hoop. I thought I had a nice little selection of tutorials for these, but after looking over my Hula Hoop Tutorial list, I don’t think I do.  Right now, I only have the page on Chest Reversals.

Today I’m going to update the Tutorials with a few new ones that other people have found helpful when struggling with this portion of hula hooping. I will fully admit that this is the area that I’m currently working hardest at. It is one thing to stop the hoop and make it go in the other direction, it is a totally different thing to make this look smooth and natural. You have to learn to absorb the hoop and then propel it in a very graceful manner.

My favourite video for teaching you all about hula hoop reversals and breaks is a video by lambdatronic on youtube. He shows you just about every variation of the chest reversal.

Keep an eye on my tutorial page for more reversals and breaks. In fact, I’m going to add a new section so it is easier for people to find. It’s website updating time!! =)

Happy Hooping!

Anyone In Town on August 7th?

Date: 2010.07.25 | Category: Red Deer Hula Hoopers | Response: 2

I cannot make the hula hoop meet up at Rotary park on August 7th and have yet to find someone who is in town to host it. If you can make it, please send me an email or message and I will give you extra hoops to take with you. I would hate to have to “officially” cancel it.

If it does need to be canceled, we’ll just pick up where we left off on the 21st!

Recently, Laura from the Red Deer Advocate came to one of the Red Deer hula hoop meet ups to see what it was that we did and why we were doing it.  =)  This is Laura article called “That Twirling Groove“.  I love the title.

Here is the video that they posted on their Youtube account.

The next meet up is August 7th at Rotary Park @ 2pm. I will not be able to make it, but Dena has promised to come out and host everyone that is interested in attending.

Hula Hooper on America’s Got Talent

Date: 2010.07.17 | Category: HulaHoopers.ca General Information, Red Deer Hula Hoopers | Response: 0

At the Hula Hoop meet up today in Red Deer we got talking about the hula hooping girl that made it through to Las Vegas on America’s Got Talent.  None of the people there had seen her skills, so I thought I would post her video here to save everyone the search.

Polina Volchek is absolutely stunning in this video! She has some crazy talent and flexibility!

WOW!

By the way, thanks to everyone that showed up today at the Hula Hoop Meet up! I’m hoping to have some pictures to post on the site soon. You guys are so much fun! =)

Kids Hula Hoops =)

I just finished making my son his own personal hula hoop.  The funny thing about three year olds is that at times they know exactly what they want and other times they can take days to make a decision.

Both of my children have been allowed to choose the colours they want for their hula hoops.  My five year old was able to decide very quickly.  His hoop has been here for a couple months now.  My three year old just finally decided.

What are the colours you ask?  Flames, Sparkly purple and hot pink.  =)  Isn’t this the dream of all three year old boys?  Oh gosh, it makes me giggle.  But doesn’t he look really happy with his hoop?

Amazing Hula Hoop Youtube Tutorial

Date: 2010.07.11 | Category: Hula Hoop Tutorial | Response: 0

If you do not have a youtube account yet and you are a hula hooper, I strongly suggest you create one.  The reason is that there are hundreds of other hula hoopers who upload their hula hooping videos to Youtube daily.  Some of these videos are good, some are bad and the very small percentage are absolutely amazing.

I personally have a giant list of Hula Hoopers on my list so I can see their newest inventions, tutorials and beatiful dance displays. It is always inspiring.

One of the newest Hoopers that I’m following on Youtube is called babzrobinson. Babz is amazing. She can work a hoop unlike any other and always breaks down the move in a way that makes it easy for a person to learn the hula hoop trick.

Below you will find her newest video. Get this… It is a Chest Roll with an Added Neck Spin. You need to see it to believe it.

Also, feel free to join my Youtube Channel and follow what videos are impressing me at MaisieHoops Youtube.

ENJOY!
