Hoop Challenge 2013: Days 22-31

That's more than a week's worth of posts! I've been busy so I wasn't able to post much for the latter part of the challenge. I wrote stuff down in my planner so I could remember.  Basically the last part of the Hoop Challenge was me spending time listening to music and getting the timing and figuring out which moves go together. :)

Day 22: Focused on hooping to the right
Day 23: Reverse weave practice, minis play time, moving the hoop from waist to lasso (right hooping)
Day 24: Play time with music
Day 25: Core hooping, jump throughs, breaks
Day 26: Off body hooping, trying out breaks from inside the hoop
Day 27: Core hooping (to the right!), handspins with minis
Day 28: Hooping to the right - spinning in place, lasso, transition from lasso to waist and vice versa
Day 29: Passing the hoop with the foot
Day 30: Play time with music, nothing particular
Day 31: Play time with music, nothing particular

I was able to take a video of my practice session. Just picked this particular segment because the flow is not so bad here compared to the others. :P


That's me trying my best to hoop to No Diggity.

After this hoop challenge, I was thinking that I will resume my normal hooping schedule which is practically everyday but it's mostly on some days that I do more intense practice sessions.  I can't keep up with the daily 31 minutes ahahaha. Considering I do get home late sometimes, it was really a challenge to keep to the 31 day thing.  Maybe I'd do this every quarter. At least I hope to do so. 

I think that I have somehow improved in terms of combining moves.  It's not easy considering I am not really a dancer.  Some of the moves I know aren't in this video because I still don't know how to combine them with the other moves.  By nature, I am really clumsy so for now, these moves will do. Nothing very fancy but I just try to do them as smoothly as I can.

Thank you for keeping up with my hoop challenge updates.  I will resume to crafting posts and other hobbies some time this month. :)

  1. Hi Clair, we met at the book binding workshop. I didn't know you had such amazing hooping skills! I didn't even know hooping was a thing! This was mesmerizing, I hope to see more. Good luck on your future challenges!

    1. Hey Eula, I remember you! :) I love your food posts and craft posts on instagram. My hooping skills are still fairly new and I am quite clumsy, to be honest. I think that the video here is one of my best moments captured (ever) but I still get those really weird moments when I just end up dropping my hoop hahaha. XD

      Hooping is a wonderful thing and if you feel like learning a thing or two, feel free to join us in Ayala Triangle one Tuesday night. :) Sometimes I go to Valle Verde 1 on some Sundays to meet with other hoopers and poi spinners. We just have fun together with our toys.
