In this class series students will be introduced to the basic skills and techniques used in hoop dance. Hoops will be provided. Class will begin with a group warm up and end with a group cool down and stretch. Students can expect to learn basic on the body and off the body hoop techniques and explore the foundations of hoop dance and the art of flow. By the end of our session, students will be able to perform a simple sequence of choreography. I hope that you will fall as madly in love with this magical prop as I have!
