Tutorials for doubles
Infinite Circles Member Aurora Lee sent out a call for assistance. Getting our attention in the best way possible, by making a video.
In the video she was open about her lack of knowledge and practice, and the result was something that had raw honesty and vulnerability.
This of course got the communities attention and within moments there were quality recommendations.
Community Recommendations
Beth Piver's dedication over on Hoop-Trix came up as usual when people are looking for specific moves, or variations. As far as we are aware Beth has created the most complete trick list.
In addition there were quality contributions and recommendations from Kayla Flow Jam offering up her Double Tracer Weave Tutorial:
Kayla is promising to introduce new tutorials each week so be sure to follow her, and make your requests heard.
There were also suggestions to take a look at Austin based professional flutist and hoop instructor extraordinaire Jasmine Kienne who served up her entire doubles playlist.
Of course it would be lazy to just leave the community doing all the work so we did some digging and came up with a few additional recommendations of our own.
