I'm new to hooping, what size should I get?
The bigger, the better! The larger the hoop's diameter the slower it will rotate. This makes it easier to learn the correct movements. The best size for you is determined by 4 factors.

Height

Body build

Experience if any

Will you be using for dance, exercise, or both?

How do you collapse the travel hoop?
All dance, standard, and fitness hoops fold down to a quarter of the full size.
Simply locate the connectors marked with grip tape, push down and twist into an "8", and fold one circle on top of the other. The tubing will want to slip apart. All you have to do is tuck one side under the other.
The polypro hoops coil down to collapse. You can use the insert piece provided to connect both ends.
You should only collapse your hoop for travel. It is not recommended to store collapsed.
