CLASS DESCRiPTiONS

"HOOP BEGiNNINGSZ" For those with little to no hoop experience that want to core hoop but also learn new moves, get a cardio work out, and build a solid foundation of hoop technique.

"INTERMEDiATE FLOW” is geared for the upper beginner / intermediate hoopers who can do basic waist hooping (both directions), bring the hoop on and off the body (gracefully or not) and want to refine the basics, develop hoop technique for chest, legs, arms, and feet, learn more maneuvers, and get a solid full body workout.

"HOOP ESCAPE" is a fitness based hoop class that takes place in the dark with one disco light. LED hoops are provided and hoopers are encouraged to bring their own. Designed for hoopdancers that have  some hoop experience. Class is only 50 minutes but flows through a full range of fitness / dance practice with the hoop. Takes place Thursdays at noon

“HOOPMAKING” encourages the MAKER spirit - I provide you tubing, tape, inspiration, assistance, hoop size & weight consultation, and you provide $20, patience, and creativity to make your own HOOP!
