Sunday, February 24, Zabor Dance Studio, Charlottesville, VA TIME: 2:30 pm- 4:00 pm PRICE: $20 LOCATION: Zabor Dance 109 2nd St. SE Suite 2, Go in the doorway of the old Atomic Burrito behind Live Arts and walk straight and up the stairs, door on the left opens directly to studio. I am not going to be around as much this spring, so I wanted to have a session with those of you that have attended before (as well as new friends you might want to bring) that- along with some review- would focus heavily on introducing new skills in working off of the core that will move you towards proficiency with two hoops. In that spirit, I've decided to focus this hoopshop on lots of off-body vertical work, isolations, passing in front and behind the body, weaving and working toward those poi moves that just look so cool ;-). We will go through exercises and specific instruction to facilitate smooth planes and crisp reverses off-body that allow for a greater range of hoop motion and more possibilities for punctuation the beat of the music to give your hoop flow a more dynamic look and feel. Space is limited for this, and I am capping attendance at 10 people. Given that space is limited, and taking into consideration the rental fee, the cost of this workshop is raised to $20. In return for the slightly raised rate, however, I am seeking to offer a more densely-packed session of hoopgnosis than I have ever laid down for y'all before…because I know you're ready, and wanting to take your already fabulous hooping to the next level. Hoops will be provided for use and will also be available for sale. I am teaching this class with a new smaller, lighter style of hoop I've been using (yes, even smaller and lighter than before) and will have that style available for use and sale. Pre-registration is *highly* encouraged! If you plan on coming, please send me an email at: spiral@spiralhoopdance.com OR please pre-pay through my hoopstore, Hoopshop is in the top left corner.
