While hooping on the waist is a powerful workout, core strengthening and calorie burning it is just one of the levels of the body for a hoop to rotate on. People are often surprised to see hoop dancers coiling up hoops to their chest, shoulder and neck. The upper body moves can be a real challenge to master but definitely provide a huge sense of achievement when accomplished and are always a crowd pleaser.
Chest Hooping
Get ready to work up a hoop sweat! Chest hooping works the upper body and gives you a hot workout. Using your internal coil and the muscles in your abdominals and back work on coiling and pulsating the hoop from your waist up to your chest in a smooth spiraling motion upwards. This can be a real challenge but it is a fun move to master.
Shoulder Hooping
Shoulder hooping looks hot, feels great and really helps to strengthen your upper body.This is a tough move that requires dedication. So don't give up!
Neck Hooping
A favorite with kids and adults. Hooping on the neck requires even, yet gentle pushes from energy centers on the back and front of your neck. An unusual feeling for some, neck hooping is the base for many shoulder and upper body hoop dance tricks.
Angles
A full on, whole body work out. Hooping on a forward and backward angle requires awareness of your center points. Thinking about pulsating your center points towards the sky while your body is on an angle to the Earth. You will be in hoop heaven!
