It has been very exciting to see some many hoopers pick up the recent Lean On hoop dance choreography. Hoop dance teachers around the world are sharing it with their students and I have been watching the variations on Facebook and Instagram.
Learning hoop dance choreography, not just one off tricks, is valuable for so many reasons:
– it truly activates both the body and the brain
– it helps to improve your coordination and balance
– it requires focus and puts your memory skills to the test
– finding your flow makes you feel good about yourself, it is a real boost
– it amplifies the creativity factor and you find new ways to express through the hoop dance
– you discover new ways of transitioning through hoop dance moves
– it gives you a full body workout as you dance all of the moves together
– you become open to new possibilities as a hoop dancer and you recognise patterns of movement that suit your style
What do you think? Have you felt the good vibes? What has learning hoop dance shifted for you?
This week we are learning the chorus of Lean On.
If you need to see the whole hoop dance you can find it here. And the first verse is right here.
Are you learning this on your own? In class? Or in an online group? I would love to hear from you and especially love to see if you have put your own twist on this choreography.
