Overhead Hand Pass

Taken from Chapter 4 of
"Hooping"
An Instructional DVD by Peachysteve

 

We previously looked at the vertical hand pass.
We can also pass from hand to hand horizontally, above the head.
This move is slightly different to the vertical version.

I'll show this starting from hand two, which for me is the left hand as the hoop is circling in a clockwise direction.
You can see the same position from the front and above.

As the space comes forward I bring hand one upward.
Palms are facing each other.		 hooping overhead hand passhooping overhead hand pass
I make a prayer shape.
The hoop passes across the base of my hands.		 hooping overhead hand passhooping overhead hand pass
The hoop is now on hand one.
I drop hand two out of the hoop.
I can keep hooping on this hand or prepare to pass again.		 hooping overhead hand passhooping overhead hand pass
