Hula Hoop Kick Up - From Floor to Knees

[@lrncblk]

I did this for the first time at our weekly spin jam! I was practicing and when I finally got it, a man came up and said I did it beautifully! I came to find out that he is a well known instructor in the area! Thanks Deanne!

[@shelliebusetti]

I have been trying this for months but couldn't find any videos that explained it...Thanks soo much! I will definitely use this

[@priyalmewara7122]

You are a pure pure genius. I just started this today and I got it once but I am so exhilarated. You are so goooood. My ankles are bruised and I dont want to try more. Also, to everyone out there - I am one of those who goes through all the comments before going ahead to know how tough a move is and then never try it. But I will just say its just tough in our head. We can all get this. Deanne so much love ❤

[@abhijitjacob]

Whenever I want to learn a new move, the videos I see are yours 😀😀

[@mandilyon6228]

whaaaat!!! i struggled with other kick start forever and could not get it, but i got this one on my third try!!! thank you!!!!!!

[@DeanneLove]

Argh it can be painful but I am glad you kept at it. It is a good feeling when you get it. The ankle pain gets better I promise!

[@DeanneLove]

Yes that happens a lot in hooping sometimes it is just the little shifts that can unlock stuff! Glad you got it!

[@annaogan5096]

Amazing! I've been hooping for 5 years and couldn't figure this out. I looked the trick up and this was the first "professional" looking tutorial I found as a hoopdance instructor myself, the way this was described and executed makes it super simple to learn!

[@tigress420]

3+ years later and I finally think of looking up tips... love this tutorial!

[@Alaurapeterson]

You are such a great teacher, and you couldn't have timed this any better! This is the trick I've been having trouble with lately. Off to give this a try! Thanks.

[@DeanneLove]

Oh cool! Nice one

[@DeanneLove]

Nice one Mandi thanks for sharing. This is hard stuff!

[@katiedorsey2744]

watched this and learned it in two minutes. figured out that I was using the wrong foot for the way I hoop lol! thank you for this

[@chels1994b]

Your method is so much better! i always tried the old school way, and it hurt my ankles so bad!!

[@kswerdlen]

I've been trying to learn this trick the old school way you described. I had no luck with it and that way hurt my ankles! Thanks for this video! Finally on my way to mastering this trick.

[@shaylacovington8078]

You have the best tutorials!! I think it's safe to say I love you Haha and thank you! Happy hooping weeee

[@DeanneLove]

Oh love you too! ;) Thank you!

[@JolieSparkles]

I'm going to go try this right now! I've been hooping for almost 10 months and this is one of the hardest things for me to do.

[@Luv2hoop]

Thanks for posting! Been working on this the old school way with no success. Can't wait to try it your way!!

[@MunchkinTime]

This helped so much! Before i was doing the kick up the old way and could never quite get it right, but this way is so much easier! Thanks :)

[@JolieSparkles]

Thanks to you I got it! Its so interesting to try something over and over one way and then just have it click when its explained differently or modified.

[@phets019]

After 2 days of practice, I was able to do this trick.. though not as smooth as yours.. but at least! My ankles hurt, but I don't mind. ;) Thanks for this tutorial!! :)

[@DeanneLove]

Oh yay! Let me know how you go! It is a tricky one - take care of your ankles ;)

[@DeanneLove]

Yes it can be a killer on the ankles but hopefully this way is less painful for you! Let me know!

[@hayleyobeirne7754]

I'm going to go and try this now and see if i can get it down. you make it look very easy so im pretty hopeful! :D Thank you!

[@klaudialu4338]

Love U

[@EmonailpolishX]

Hey. I love all of your videos, they've helped so much! I'm still having a bit of trouble with this one though. I seem to be dragging the hoop on the floor when I try to spin it. You seem to have it lifted a bit from the first little spin, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Any thoughts? Thank you so much!

[@gemmasleik8012]

Hi! What weight, material, and diameter of hoop is this?? Thanks :D

[@lylh93]

I learnt this trick today! Thank you so much

[@TreeHugger966]

I am really struggling with this:( is there any suggestions that can help me get this down faster?

[@mahafgh]

Omg its gonna take me a while to get that, soo hard

[@letsshine7647]

Very nice 👌

[@DeanneLove]

Are you super tall? Do you feel like that impacts on your success?

[@Diy_bts_world13]

Please do this in small hula hoop

[@LizzardBeth96]

I'm about 177cm. Not terrible tall, but it makes me clumbsy :P It takes me a long time to learn new tricks and when I finally get it, it looks very awkward.

[@morgandolenti798]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@melissa_anastasia]

Whoah

[@HolisticHooper]

I have been struggling so bad with this move. I have been trying to learn this for about 9 months and i just dont get it. My ankle starts to really hurt and i cant figure out how to kick it up in the right spot. Ive watched this video many times, and it makes sense, its just not clicking for me :(

[@DeanneLove]

Send me a video response if you like and I will help you out!

[@beeeettll]

i keep accidentally stepping on the hoop and bruised my foot but ITS ALL GOOD CUZ I DID IT!!

[@LemonScissors]

Okay, so i can start it and kick it up, But i cant put my foot back in the hoop without screwing the flow :S hardest part. I cant get to stick the foot back in or bring the hoop up to my hips, it seems impossible

[@trinityconklin5335]

Would it be better to use my lighter hoop for this or my heavier one 🤷‍♀️ Dumb question 😹😅

[@ms.savanahrose3847]

thank you soon much

[@LizzardBeth96]

Odd question, but how tall are you?

[@MsCupcakes411]

I coudnt get it :( it doesnt make sense. My ankles hurt and i cant get it up to my knees :( I dont know what im doing wrong

[@LittleMissSparklexxo]

This is killing my ankles but i'm slowly getting the hang of it

[@DeanneLove]

MynameisJessie oh ouch! Most painful move ever! Please, please take care xx

[@LemonScissors]

+MynameisJessie I'm using warmers on my ankles to not get bruised, you could try this while you dont master the move.

[@eelsoukov]

Awesome! Is that any difference with aluminium hoops? I am all bruesed up!

[@DeanneLove]

eelsoukov Aluminium hoops would be too hard because they have no spring or bounce to them.

[@elenaelsoukov6800]

Deanne Love Thank you - got polypro hoop for now - I think I shell master a simple hoop before even trying a circus one again. Love your videos - incredibly helpful.

[@BrightS0l]

Thank you!!!! Ahhh Yes I did it!!!! :)

[@AdelleRamcharan]

omg you are good lol

[@govindwagh9546]

R u still hooping

[@teresamullan3022]

What are the best hula hoops to use? I know a lot of performers use the poly pro... but would a large kids hoop do the same job? xx

[@DeanneLove]

If you are a beginner and you are just learning how to body hoop and you want to do it with correct posture and timing then consider a dance hoop made of HDPE of similar. If you want something faster then polypro is a better tubing.
