Description

Intro to Hoop Dance is a dance-based movement class that combines old-school hula hooping with modern day tricks for an hour of fun, play, and low-impact fitness! Anyone of any skill or fitness level may join in, no experience is required.

 

Instructor Stephanie Brown will teach 10 basic hoop dance movements over the course of 6 weeks, with each class structured to include: warm-up/stretch, introduce 2-3 core skills, drilling/transitions/combos, and a cool-down/stretch. By the end of the course, students will successfully be able to waist hoop in place or while walking/dancing, do several off-body tricks, and perform a short hoop dance choreography.

 

Hoop dance is a great way to bring non-traditional exercise, dance, creative expression and play back into your life, while improving your coordination, relieving stress, and boosting your mood. There’s nothing like throwing on your favorite tunes and losing yourself in the music..not to mention the cardio benefits of burning up to 7 calories per minute and the bonus mental health perks, it’s no wonder so many people are picking up the hoop to rediscover playful joy!

 

Ages 13+ please, all genders welcome! All hoops are provided and sanitized between classes. Separately, students may rent a hoop from the instructor to take home with them (pending availability).

 

Option to purchase a handmade hoop prior to class, approx $30 - $45 each

 

Please wear comfortable clothing (i.e.shorts, leggings, tanks, tees, etc). Barefoot or shoes - no socks please! Bring water, an open mind, and be ready to have some fun!
