WHAT: Students in this workshop will go through a two hour intensive on all things hoop. I will start by leading everyone through a thorough warm-up in the air. After a quick run through of drills and conditioning we will explore some dynamics, starting with individual skills and possibly combining things together. In the second half of class, we will explore choreography and spinning with an emphasis on smooth transitions.
PREREQUISITES:
Comfortable with inversions (Bent or straight arm, doesn't matter).
Comfortable with basic bar positions (back balance, knee hangs, front balance).
Good level of awareness in the air to make safe choices for their own bodies,
Good amount of prior knowledge of hoop (I can take advance-beginner students all the way to advanced).
