Hoop Illusion II
Alaskan Amy showed us how to do something she calls The Illusion awhile back. Well she's at it again with a simpler version for the rest of us. "It seems a bit easier since there's only one 360 degree turn, as opposed to two in the first version. Take time to stretch, especially the hamstrings! To start: get the hoop rotating vertically in front of you. A 'round-house' type kick up & over the hoop starts the first 180 degrees. While the leg is up, transfer hoop to the opposite hand. By the time the kicking leg is closest to the ground, you should be facing backwards. The leg continues back up in the second 180 degrees, transferring the hoop between the legs behind the body. Leg continues back and down. It is sort of a big ol' circle kick spin with two passes under the kicking leg." Watching the video really helps bring it all together too.
