Hula Hoop Tutorial | Learn How to Paddle & Break

[@kirakrall4145]

since i've started hooping, i've realized what a mental sport hooping is! your videos are so effective because you incorporate the mental element. it means so much to hear you say "this takes work, but you can do it if you stay positive and keep practicing!" thanks so much, all your videos are so wonderful and helpful

[@DeanneLove]

Thank you, yes hooping is definitely holistic! Full body, full power.

[@akankshahoopanddance]

You are my truly mentor❤️I love you ma'am for teaching us..

[@TwiztidRadioBrain]

I just want you to know that you really inspire me! I had given up on myself and that I will never be able to do breaks and paddles, but I searched through your videos and found this one and by gone it, I picked up my hoop and started going like crazy! I won't give up because you help me keep going forward, so thank you dearly!!!

[@DeanneLove]

***** don't give up...al this stuff takes times - sometimes lots of time. I have been hooping for more than 7 years and I am still mastering lots of things, it is never ending that is the beautiful part of it. Enjoy the ride!

[@TwiztidRadioBrain]

Deanne Love you are amazing !! Thanks so much for the feedback!!! I can't wait til I can finally get breaks and paddles down, then I'll have to send you a video of how you helped me succeed ! Hahaha thanks so much !!!! Keep trucking !

[@filmulets]

Deanne you are a genius! I've been hooping for only 2.5 months and I thought I'd learn this incredible move in a couple of years... But your idea to break it up in the three steps is incredible! It took me 1 week to get the first step, but then only 1 day to get step 2, and another day to get step 3. I am dong this move after 9 days of practice!! THANK YOU!!

[@DeanneLove]

filmulets You are incredible! Nice work, must feel good!!

[@rachelwright1971]

Literally learned three tricks today Bc of you. This is my first day ever trying hooping and I'm addicting. Thank you so much for these videos they really help!!

[@twiztidchyk7862]

Thanks love! Your tutorials are always so helpful. Back in my hoop for the first time in 5 years. It feels great to watch your vids again and get back to my happy place.

[@chelseaward9841]

You remind me of P!nk the singer! You light up the room, much love to you. Thank you so much for these tutorials, I began hooping about a month ago now and it has brought so much happiness into my life💕 Thank you once more

[@Christiane-yb1wj]

chelsea ward my thoughts exactly. She is the p!nk of hoop dance.

[@Ejology]

Thank you so much Deanne!! Today I finally managed to do breaks & paddles thanks to your tutorial :) Arms & wrists are abit sore but Im still Happy!!

[@UrbanFlowerpot]

I DID IT.

[@umbilicalmoonset]

You are truly an amazing teacher and in every tutorial I get inspired to further and find my own flow inside the hoop. Sometimes I get stuck and think I don't have the time but you remind me to slow down, relax, and that I can do it no matter what! It's what I love. Thank you!

[@smwheeler09]

This is by far the best explanation of paddles I have come across!

[@DeanneLove]

Thank you!! Hope you are enjoying them!

[@chardem.5743]

Omg whyyyy does it just go every where

[@cathyzura5758]

I got it! Practicing in discrete steps really helped me figure out what I needed to do. I was having trouble with the 2 turns/break on my right side. Finally figured out I wasn't twisting enough on that side. Once I fixed that, it all came together. Xoxo

[@flowtogrowfitness]

Love your energy, motivation and simple imstruction ! Your amazing I'm so glad I found your channel

[@InstantSpark1]

I appreciate how motivating and encouraging you are as a teacher ♡

[@LongboardKelsie]

[@estrojen3615]

[@serenehands]

Deanne, you always make everything make so much sense!!!!!!!!!! This move has been so hard for me to understand until this! Thanks!

[@DeanneLove]

Oh wow that is really cool to hear. Have you cracked it? Hope it feels good!

[@farmgrrrlmainah2246]

I must say THANK YOU for your influence on my Hooping Growth. I find that your tutorials fluently speak to my soul! Keep on Keeping o n SUPERTAR!!!🤗💜💙💚🦄💫🦄💚💙💜

[@abrinasayy]

i love your videos the most! ive been hooping for two years can decently chest hoop and do breaks but this is something ive struggled with but your videos always break things down so i can get them better. hope to.master this move sometime soon! it can be frustrating when youve mastered double hoop moves yet still cant get some basic ones. your channel is a blessing!

[@chelseyfitzpatrick9849]

I love your tutorials! I started hooping about 10 months ago and seen a lot of tutorials on here before finding yours. The other ones just couldn't break things down for me like you do. Stupendous job with everything you and your hoop do!! Also thanks for teaching me what I know so far, and what I plan to learn more of. ♡

[@DeanneLove]

Aw thank you Chelsey Fitzpatrick I am so glad this helped you out!

[@HilliaHula]

You are such a wonderful teacher!

[@DeanneLove]

[@tiffanysuecohen1172]

You really are a super talented teacher. And hooper. Thank you for your help. First time I REALLY understood how to do this move I have been loving for so long. Now practice, I am ready!!! Thanks :)

[@puisakura]

[@nephtisneko2982]

[@hoopla4407]

Thanks Deanne, I can do paddles now :) yay! I didn't understand what 'paddles' were in hooping until I watched your video & practised it myself. Very happy hooper.

[@DeanneLove]

You are amazing!!

[@Imalovefreq]

after practicing each step and perfecting it, today was the day i finally tackled the end. and i am so happy because i got it !! thank you !!

[@roflmeee]

You're the absolute best!! I've watched so many videos trying to learn this move for a while now and they were all so confusing. But you breaking it down helped so much!! Thank you!!

[@DeanneLove]

Oh that is so exciting to hear thank you for the feedback and I am really happy you are rocking this, it can take time! xx

[@crystaldawn8875]

Super Helpful I'm still not giving up trying to learn to chest n shoulder hoop! Thanks sweety so very much💋💜

[@Amboozler]

This has been such a wonderful video for me! I'm finally getting the last step, the actual paddle and break, but the neatest thing happened! I can shoulder hoop now! SO there's that and that's really cool. Thanks so much! You're such a wonderful teacher.

[@beckcru]

I'm slowly but surely getting there! Thank you so much for the encouragement! I can't wait to see how far I'll get with my hooping. Thank you!

[@DeanneLove]

Awesome Becky Cruz don't give up...make it your THING!!

[@xneverandforeverx]

Hey Deanne! Your tutorials are the absolute most encouraging, and your positivity inspires me to be better as a person and a hooper. I know that with the help of your videos, I'll be able to do my best, and I thank you in advance for that. :3

[@XzOiDxX]

Thank you for this video! I could never get the hang of this trick. I also never practiced it, thinking I'll get to it later. I watched this video and now I can do all the tricks you showed. I haven't mastered them, but I would feel comfortable doing them in front of people.

[@missspelld-performancearti2732]

Such a fun teacher! Love this video so much. Good job Deanne and thanks!

[@DeanneLove]

Miss Spelld - Fire Performer Thank you so much for your sweet message xx

[@tiffanysuecohen1172]

Thank you soooooo much. Something clicked. Hallelujah!!!

[@letsbestrange21]

ahhhhh getting there!! I won't give up! I am having trouble on my non dominant side

[@Skeirha]

Oh, thank you so much! This move finally clicked with your explanation.... no other video that I have watched really mentioned that second paddle. I've got it now!

[@rosiewahlers8296]

Eeeeeeeeee, I've been trying to learn this forever and it all finally clicked when I watched this! Thank you thank thank thank you and lots of hoop love!! :D

[@racheid77]

You are so helpful, I'm going to drill the first two and come back to paddle in a few weeks!

[@kerstinboerner7616]

I promise since i already learned so much with you. Thanks for everything

[@lesaubergines]

I didn't give up like you told me, and now breaks are no sweat! ^_^

[@puresaints3]

Hey Deanne! You are such a wonderful teacher, thank youuu ! I just wanted to know if you have already thought of the idea of sorting all these tutorials by levels? i am getting a bit confused when looking for new tricks because you ofter refer to older videos which explains simpler tricks but we don't always know where to find them! Just having number at the beginning of the video's title would be really helpful ! Keep on like that :) :)

[@DeanneLove]

Thanks so much for the tips, really appreciate them. KZbin is not very linear like that is it? That is why I create playlists to hopefully help a little kzbin.infoplaylists?view_as=subscriber and then sequential challenges so you can learn step by step in a more focused and guided style on learn.hooplovers.tv/

[@jonathancartagena2636]

This is awesome, thanks so much! You made it easy and fun to learn.

[@DeanneLove]

Thank you, so happy it helped!

[@amyreid4018]

Deanne, I have been hooping for about a year and have become a bit obsessed! Love you and your tutorials! I'm having trouble with the paddle-break and wonder what the best type of hoop to use might be (size, weight, etc.). Any tips?

[@amrutakoshalia]

Love it. Thank you. I love the way you explain so so clearly and easily. So lucky to have found and followed you till now for all I've learnt so far.

[@alissamcquilliams3652]

Are the paddles functional? Like are the paddle arms keeping the momentum of the hoop going? or is a paddle just refering to the positioning of the arm? I dont understand. =(

[@paulahamblin8813]

I've been struggling to learn paddles and breaks for awhile and I can tell this is the tutorial I've been needing. It all finally makes sense. I am so psyched for success. I can do this - pinkie promise...and thank you! PS I want one of those tank tops ;)

[@sarahg972]

[@DeanneLove]

Thank you SO much!

[@PoliaWachtel]

[@amberdawn6793]

[@UrbanFlowerpot]

I pinky promised then walked away for a few weeks - now I have chest, chest down and will add the paddle. YAY! Thank you!

[@candicebaire6868]

I had the hoop too high up!! Lowered it closer to my elbows and it helped sooo much!!

[@22simagandhi44]

[@beckwyld6414]

The first day was like the hoop had gained sentience and was trying to kill me. Today, day 3, I'm so much closer, I have almost tamed the beast! Thanks deanne you babe!

[@theupwardspiral1580]

This comment had me rollin sentience hahahaha i feel like that sometimes too

[@tag5504]

Deanne... thank you so much for your videos! I'm working on this one. But when I'm doing the double hoop direction and then break, my hoop sometimes gets quite wobbly and not on a even plane. Any suggestions?

[@jayweeks88]

This is exactly what I was working on! Thank you I'm going to practice now ^.^

[@DeanneLove]

Oh perfect, let me know if you crack this one! I hope this tut helped you!

[@bunnydbutton]

Best Break and Paddle Instruction Ever!

[@DeanneLove]

[@DeanneLove]

I am so happy to hear it but I am sure it is YOU that is turning you into a fab hooper. Enjoy the beautiful process xx

[@lilyv8275]

Your tutorials are SO inspiring. May I ask for the thickness of your polypro??

[@DeanneLove]

Lily Vu Thank you! I got my polypros from here superhooper.org/polyprocolors.html

[@Pippa.G]

I gave up years ago.. But now I'm back on it 😅. Breaks and paddles have been my hardest to get.

[@rebeccapynn8358]

Great video. I can paddle and break to my right but not to my left :( do you need to be able to shoulder hoop in both directions to do this?

[@chiayogilbert4039]

You are so awesome, thank you for sharing your experience and good energy with the hoop community! This made a lot of sense, now to practice ;)

[@Aveee23]

YES!!! Thank you so so so much!! You just cleared a very crucial thing up for me! You are so wonderful!

[@sydneyrhett824]

after 6 mo of being a great hooper.....i think this has been the one move i could never get down...but i so got it :) :)

[@angelarenzetti7792]

So many years later, but does anyone have a good video for how to get the initial "hand-hand" sequence? I'm just starting to shoulder hoop but can just twirl in circles! Ty!

[@brittbub]

Thank you so much for your videos

[@leetheartteacher6908]

ohhh, I need your t-shirt-for teaching elementary art! or maybe a big poster. :) Love it!

[@laurenheckmanrmt]

Thank you so much! You are such an inspiration

[@DeanneLove]

Thank you!

[@crystaldawn4510]

I just started hooping a week ago... I love it! But, about the bruises.. what's normal? Because I seem to be quite bruised 😞 Even the tops of my hands are bruised and swollen.

[@riiseup4554]

Thank you for every videos

[@emilyishungry7363]

Ah! I really need to learn Isopops Step By step Before Thursday and Its sunday now (and Other moves, The one im looking for now is Isos)! Please Can you help?

[@karlamariaperezgomez9270]

Hey! awesome tutorial i'm improving a lot! just one question when you start putting the arm inside of the hoop, it always touch the chest 2 times as the previous step?

[@ashleybadashly1574]

Thank you for making me promise!

[@MsPakuni]

did the pinky promise, not gonna give up sensei!!!!

[@Christiane-yb1wj]

I remember promising that I wouldn't give up and I now I can break and paddle.

[@charlottenaeye5379]

I GOT IT!!! OMG!!! Thank you soooo much!!! :D

[@jodirook71]

have it down after 3 days already doing pinch breaks too, but the bruises are on my back??

[@melissado8112]

What if in the beginning exercise, after the first 'break', the hoop flops over and hits your body going onto the opposite side before the next break? How do you avoid this? Using a 30" polypro...

[@melodyhopkins6566]

So helpful. Your my hoop hero :-)

[@DeanneLove]

Aaaaw yay! Really happy to hear it!

[@meganwilkes8801]

Is there some way that you are supposed to move your shoulders? The hoop keeps moving up and circling my neck. I'm still trying but maybe I'm doing it to high?

[@emilyrose4294]

you're the best! thank you!!!

[@DeanneLove]

Emily Rose Thank YOU! xx

[@Xxpanic63xX]

i've been practicing paddles for weeks now and I can't seem to keep the hoop up around my chest. It always wiggles it's way down to my stomach and elbow area. any tips for keeping it level?

[@FeelingBeingFromTheLiving]

Harayyy! That was an awesome one! (video)

[@DeanneLove]

Oh great hope it helped you out!
