I took a couple beginner-level hula hoop sessions with Olivia Campbell over the summer after taking a few years off and it was so much fun! 

 

I was amazed how quickly she was able to successfully teach me new skills, including ones I struggled with in the past. Her encouragement and guidance made all the difference. 

 

Bonus: I'm a lefty and it's a struggle, Olivia made sure to teach and ensure we practiced on both sides, so I wasn't singled out. I definitely hope to take more classes with her in the future!

I met Olivia when I took her 6-week adult beginner hula-hooping class. She is a great teacher. She is kind, patient and always up for a laugh. Olivia spent time with each of us in our class and slowly walked us through skills until we felt confident. Each week she would review as well as build upon skills learned. I did not know there were so many skills you could learn with a hula-hoop! At the end of six weeks, we had a blast performing a fun routine together. Since there are endless hoop skills to learn, I wouldn’t hesitate to sign up for another one of Olivia’s classes. I had a blast. Even though I’ve taken this class from her once, I would not hesitate to sign-up again for the next level. It’s well worth the money due to the fun you’ll have!

 

Also, Olivia came to the school I work at to teach a one-hour beginner class to staff after school. We all had a blast. Lots of laughs were had, games were played and the skills ranged from basic to a bit more challenging. It was a great way to get a glimpse into what a full hula-hoop session would be like but it was also just a great way to hang with staff and build camaraderie while trying something new. I highly recommend Olivia for any of your hooping needs

I recently took Olivia’s Hoola Hooping Fitness class that was offered at the Millwoods Senior Center. I must say it was entertaining, non judgmental and provided a good one hour workout. I would highly recommend taking one of Olivia’s classes. I will rate her 10 out of 10!

I recently completed a six week hooping class with Olivia. She is an amazing young woman who is so patient and kind! She’s such a perfect person to work with any age group. I was in a seniors’ class but being a retired teacher, I know children would love working with her too.  

​

Olivia uses classic rock music that we all know and love and she has made very clever selections for her playlists. They make you want to give it all you’ve got. Her classes are certainly never boring.

​

I hired Olivia to do a private party at my home partly performance as well as a workout and games. 

I highly recommend Olivia if you are looking for a new way to get physically fit!

Olivia was a great addition to our Block Party on RHW in the Entertainment District!

She was a total pro; great stage presence and very inviting to folks to participate in a workshop after her performance. I would love to have her perform at another event in the future!

I have always wanted to learn how to move with Hula Hooping and make it seem effortless. I found Olivia's classes just at the right time; it has been a beautiful discovery! Olivia makes the lessons fun, with her music and patience with beginners like me. I thoroughly enjoyed just hooping and learning some really cool moves over the course of 6-weeks and definitely hope to come back to the classes and hone my beginner level to more intermediate. Loved the way she conducted her classes and made it easy for all levels of people to join❤. She put effort in time in ensuring that the moves made sense to me (who has very bad sense of direction), broke down every step so that I could slowly get into the flow of it. There's definitely a lot more to learn that I look forward to!

Olivia is so sweet and such a kind, fun instructor. Her hooping skills are impressive and her teaching skills too. She is able to explain each skill to make it easy to follow and in one 6 week class we learned more than a dozen moves! Thanks  I look forward to taking another class!

Olivia is full of energy and so much fun!

I participated in a 6 week class with a friend in the winter. We learned, laughed and worked up a sweat.

More recently, I hired her for a corporate team building. The 1.5 hour session included tricks, games and working together.

I highly recommend her for a class, you won't be disappointed.

I took the beginner/intermediate 6 week hooping class with Olivia and found it was the right amount of fun flow mixed with technique that challenges you! I learned lots of new tricks and connected with others on their hooping journey. Olivia is a great teacher with a wonderful personality that I highly recommend!  I’m looking forward to taking more classes and workshops with her!

I had a great time in Olivia’s class! It was casual and she was great at adapting and breaking down moves to suit my skill level. Highly recommend!

I recently did a hoop class with Olivia. She was very friendly & I liked the class because it was very small (2-3 people) so she could tailor the tricks to our skill level & help us individually. Lots of off body hoop tricks. She even let me borrow a hoop to practice at home.

Hey Hoopers Olivia flows here today we are learning a downward escalator; let’s get started!

​

1. I am holding the hoop in my left hand in front of me and I’m doing this hinging motion where I’m tightening my grip, which is causing the hoop to flip. So I start with the hoop framing my face then I hinge it away from me (again this is by tightening my grip) causing the hoop to flip the opposite direction so that it can start heading behind me.

​

2. As the hoop passes behind me, I want the hoop to make contact just underneath my shoulder blades.

​

3. I will then start guiding the hoop down in front of me and at this point, I’m going to bring my right leg up, and then I can let go of the hoop.

​

4. At this point, the hoop should catch on my right leg; this gives me a chance to regrip the hoop with my left hand.

​

5. my left hand started the move, so my left hand is going to end the move. You can also finish the downward escalator by stepping the right leg out of the hoop, rather than crossing it in front. The downward escalator will end with my right leg crossed in front of my left leg.

​

Happy hooping!

Hey Hoopers, Olivia flows here today we’re going to be learning this upward escalator straight into a downward escalator, let’s get started!

​

-Before attempting this move you will need to know how to do both a downward escalator and a upward escalator;’ I do have tutorials on both those moves however, if you would like to check them out.

​

1. This is my start position which is my right leg crossing front of the left and then holding the hoop in my left hand.

​

2. Using my left hand, I’m going to send the hoop up into the upward escalator and as the hoop is going up, I need to glue my right arm to my ear and keep my arm straight.

​

3. When the hoop makes contact with my right arm, it’s going to swing backwards behind my body, and the hoop is going to swing over my head, back to the front of my body; but in order to do, this I need to bring my head to the left as much as possible to create space for the hoop to clear my head.

​

4. Once the hoop clears my head, it should continue back into a normal downward escalator making contact with my lower back and then continuing down into that normal downward escalator.

 

With this trick you need to be careful with how much momentum you’re using; you don’t need too much, or the hoop is going to fly off your arm at the top, or it’ll be really it uncontrolled so it’s just a light toss. Happy hooping!

Hey Hoopers Olivia flows here today we are learning an upward escalator; let’s get started!

​

1.Start by getting into your downward escalator you want to finish with the cross position, so I started with my left hand, so my right leg is going to be crossed in front of my left leg

​

2. To send the hoop back up I’m using my left hand, and I’m guiding the hoop up towards my right rib or right peck. When I guide the hoop, I am also doing a bit of a twist; so, I’m bringing it up and twisting across. When you get the right momentum, the hoop in theory should hinge over your head and off your body. You want to be controlled when you’re bringing the hoop back up; if you have too much speed it’s not going to work and if you have too little speed, it also won’t work.  You’re not just whipping the hoop, you want to control the way you’re sending the energy up your body so even though I’m sending the energy from my left hand on the bottom up towards my right shoulder, my left hand actually isn’t crossing my midline much because the hand doesn’t physically need to go to the shoulder, the energy of the hoop needs to go up towards the peck/ shoulder.

 

Happy hooping!

Hey Hoopers Olivia flows here, today we’re going to be learning this front hand spin with a turn; let’s get started!

​

1.The first thing we want to do is look at the placement of our feet; so we’re doing quarter steps, 4 quarter steps will make one full turn.

​

2. I’m starting with the hoop in my left hand, and I am rotating the hoop to the right.

​

3. It’s now time to add the turn; so since I’m using my left hand, I’m going to turn towards the left. My right foot is stepping to the left, and now it’s facing the wall that was at my left.

​

4. As the hoop is coming up above our head, that’s when we’re going to turn in face the wall behind us. When we’re facing the wall behind us, the hoop is going to pass in front of our face. As the hoop is passing our face, we’re going to take that right foot, and we’re going to step to the right wall (the wall that was on your right when you first started the move).

​

5. When you’re stepping to the right for the final portion of the move, the hoop should pass past your left shoulder. So essentially, you’re stepping behind where the hoop is going

​

6. Next, straighten your feet bring them back to center and then you can start it over.

​

Happy hooping!

Hey Hoopers Olivia flows here, today we’re going to be learning these folding isolations; let’s get started!

​

1.I first start by gripping the hoop with my left hand with my palm facing down.

2.I then bring my hand up towards my head which is going to cause the hoop to flip or fold.

​

3. Next, I trace the outside of the circle leading with my pinky.

​

4. Once I get to the bottom, I’m bringing my hands up again which will flip the hoop.

​

5. Now I’m going to trace the other half of the circle again leading with the pinky.

​

6. Once I get to the bottom, I again bring the hand up which causes the hoop to fold and then we trace the outside of the circle leading with the pinky.

​

7.Once we get to the bottom we once again bring the hand up and continue the motion.

You can do those with either hand!

​

Bonus: Another way you can do this pattern is by starting with your hands at three and nine o'clock and it's essentially the exact same thing you always trace with the pinky and then fold when you get to the side points three and nine o’clock (you will be tracing the top half of the hoop, and the bottom half of the hoop);  just another fun way to do it!

​

Happy Hooping!

Hey hoopers, Olivia flows here. Today we’re learning a basic wedgie with the escalator exit; let’s get started!

​

1.I’m starting with my hoop in my left hand, and I am holding it in front of my legs. I’m stepping my right leg in front of the hoop and then inside of the hoop, and then pulling the hoop back on my left leg. There should be a little bit of recoil for the wedgie.

​

 2. You need to think of bringing your knee up and in front of your opposing leg. Your legs should scrape together as if you were rolling pasta with your legs; you should have contact the entire time. If there is a gap in between your legs when doing the wedgie, the hoop could slide down and then it gets out of position. Everyone has that sweet spot, you just got to find it; if the hoop is too high up into your pelvis it won’t work, if it’s too low it won’t work.

​

3. To exit this move, since my right leg initially stepped in, I’m going to need to lift my left leg to allow the hoop to leave my body. When the hoop is springing across my left leg, I’m going to lift my right leg and kick my foot straight back as if I was going to kick my butt, the hoop then will continue past my knee and off my body.

​

Happy hooping!

Hey Hooper’s, Olivia flows here, today we’re going to be learning this continuous linear isolation with a hand spin; let’s get started!

​

1. I start by gripping the top of the hoop with my left hand and my palm facing up.

​

2. I rotate my wrist, so the hoop passes in front of my face to a thumbs down position.

​

3. I will then bend my elbow as I pull the hoop to the left side of my body. I’m doing is letting go of my grip and the hoop is going to roll over the back of my hand, landing in the thumbs up position.

​

4. I will rotate my wrist forward to a thumbs down position, and then I will guide the hoop down across my body.

​

5. Once I get to 9:00 o’clock, I need to turn my hand again; so, I will do a full rotation of the wrist so that the thumb ends up in a thumbs up position. The hoop is going to flip twice while passing in front of you.

​

6. Continue to scoop the hoop down in front of you, there should be no rotation of the hoop here, and then you should end up back in that starting position of the linear isolation.

​

7. Your thumb is pointing out and you will then unhook your fingers, and hook your thumb on the back of the hoop so just your thumb is gripping the hoop. You will then let go, and the hoop is going to pass in front of you as you bring your arm to the left side of your body and you should end up in the thumbs ups position.

​

Happy hooping!
