This class is meant for anyone who has taken at least one hoop class through Unity Hoops before and/or has been hooping for around 3-6 months minimum. We will build on basics to take them even further. An emphasis will be put on using polypro hoops – both single and doubles. We will learn short combos at the end of each class that incorporates what we worked on that day.
You will need:
1. Your hoops (you should have your own, but if not I will bring some polypro loaners).
2. You can do this class barefoot or in a pair of sneakers.
3. Water.
Let’s dance! We’ll start with a full body warm up, stretches and some short strength exercises to target the specific muscles used most in belly dancing. Then we’ll go over a different focus of movements each week using our hips, upper body, arms and hands. At the end of each we’ll put those specific movements together into a fun short combo set to music. This class should awaken every part of your body making you feel engaged, aware, opened and empowered!
You will need:
1. We will do some stretches and strength exercises on the floor, so if you prefer using a yoga mat, have one ready.
2. I like to belly dance barefoot.
3. Water.

The Sassy Vintage Showgirl! We will be tapping into our sexy selves in a safe space full of encouragement and fun. Explore yourself, learn about yourself, love yourself and accept yourself for all that you are, right now. We’ll bump ‘n grind, sass it out, pose and play. We’ll go over accessible jazz based movements and some of the classes will involve simple clothing removals – you’ll use what you already have at home! This class is inspired by vintage music and aesthetic.
You will need:
1. We will do stretches and strength exercises on the floor, so if you prefer using a yoga mat, have one ready.

    Remember that silly plastic circle you loved playing with as a kid, that one that brought you so much joy and bliss? It’s calling you again, the hula hoop beckons you to come play, it wants you to rediscover that joy again. Join the fun! In Level One Hoop Dance we will focus on the foundations of hoop dancing. Each week we will build on skills like: waist hooping, movement with the hoop and moving the hoop up and down the body.

By the end of the eight week session, you will feel comfortable moving with the hoop, transitioning between skills and experience the pure joy that hoop dance has in store for your life. Hoops will be available to borrow in class and can be purchased from http://etsy.com/shop/unityhoops so you can practice at home!
