Level 1 Hoop Dance w/ Molly!
ROOM 105**The first class (April 3) is now full. Email valentinaorbit@gmail.com to get on the wait list for the second class and/or the rest of the class series. Thank you!**
Hooping is more than a dance – it’s an art form that will change your life. Moving with the circle is a skill that anyone can enjoy use to express themselves with no judgment. Molly will take her students on a journey that brings joy through movement, music, and FLOW – the state of being in the zone. The way you flow with the hoop will stand out more than your tricks!
In this course we will explore both old school and new school forms of hooping, from on-body to off-body tricks. We will master the basics and use different parts of your body to hoop, focusing on transitions and rhythm. We will touch on the extra factors – what to do with your hands, your gaze, and presence, all while moving your hoop. All levels will be given challenges and variations to smooth your flow. No matter what you will get a stellar workout!
*There are no refunds unless the class is canceled by Unity Hoops.
*Hoops to practice with at home can be purchased at etsy.com/shop/unityhoops. If you would like a hoop, orders can be placed the first night of class.
