Materials: Your own hoop, Hoops are for sale at class!
Hoop dance is a fun and transformative way to move your body and get in touch with your inner child. Intended for hoopers of all abilities, each session will combine instruction, drills, and exercises designed to improve your hoop technique and help you to discover your own unique hoop dance. These days, hoopers come in all ages, shapes, sizes and genders (I seriously can’t think of anything hotter than a boy hooper!) The class will also help students develop performance skills and may focus on specific techniques needed to fire hoop depending on interest.
It’s been about 50 years since I stepped into a hula hoop, but a young lady with pink hair and pink tights brought a bunch to the ‘Electric Stage’ for novices and seasoned practitioners to play with. I shamelessly picked one up and had a blast. The woman who brought them gave me her card, but sadly, I didn’t have it when I got home. I’d love to take it up. Do you, or do you know of anyone who teaches classes on the hill?
Thanks,
Danuta
