Intermediate Level 1 & 2 courses will be available soon – intermediate courses offer more diverse moves and additional options to moves already learnt, a firm grasp of the basics is advised before participating, ideally you will be able to perform beginner moves with ease and in both directions. Learn to enter and exit the hoop by leaping in and out, diversifying how to go from your inflow to your outflow, rolling the hoop across the back, stepping through the hoop from vertical hooping and the continuous step through are just some of what you will learn!
All Courses
You will each receive one to one assistance during each class to ensure that your hoop dance journey is well informed and supported. Each move will be taught in both directions to encourage bi-directional hooping. At the end of each course you’ll have the opportunity to freeform hoop dance using all the skills you have acquired in a special Spirit Hoop Cake end of course party where you will receive a certificate of attendance and a slice of delicious cake! On-going support and guidance is offered to all participants.
Who the course is suitable for
My 5 week courses are currently available for adults and young people aged 15 years and above. If you are interested and are younger then please contact me where I can ascertain if this course is suitable. Anyone under the age of 18 must email me or phone prior to the course start as a parental / guardian form must be signed in order for you to attend.
Workshops are available for younger hoopers and there are many parent & child workshops to attend, contact me for details.
Music
All music is clean, meaning there are no swear words contained in the music selected, I always test music to ensure they are hoop friendly and vary the beats per minute to encourage attendees to explore the pacing and rhythm of their hoop dance. I’m always interested in including music suggested by students and will always do my best to satisfy the music tastes of attendees!
