One Shoulder Hooping
Nichole has a bit of a different take on explaining one shoulder hooping that has definitely helped some figure it out. Here she is to tell you how it is done.
One of our favorite tracks from the new Future Disco Vol. 3 is by Ilija Rudman and it's "Call Me Tonight (Greg Wilson Version). We really get lost while hooping to this one and it gets better with every listen. It's on the Hoop Sounds iPod below and download it and more "Future Disco" for yourself on iTunes by clicking:
Then we're going Sub Swara with "Koli Stance" - the David Starfire Remix - from Sub Swara's Coup d'Yah, Vol. 3 (Remixes). We've uploaded it so listen on the iPod and download it on iTunes by clicking:

Wow, that really worked! I always had to have my arm extended in the air when I dropped my head out to prevent the hoop from flying off, but I ran outside right after watching this, and within a couple minutes, I was shoulder hooping! THANK YOU!

This was helpful! Hopefully I can smooth it out "like Safire" but for now I can at least drop out of the hoop and keep it going on one shoulder. Yay!

This works excellently! I've been trying to do this trick for over a year (not every day, of course, but whenever I'm at some festival) and it always fell off of my shoulder. After watching this video I was able to get this trick down really well in less than an hour!
