This Intro to Hula Hooping workshop is designed to teach new students the basics of hoop dance. Whether you’ve just started picking up a hoop, or you haven’t tried since childhood, this class is for you! Not only is it an incredibly fun way to exercise, it’s also a fantastic stress and anxiety reliever.

We will be using weighted adult sized hula hoops in class (a variety of sizes will be provided). During the first half of the class, Katie will guide students through the basics of waist hooping, lifting the hoop up and off your body, and bringing it back to your core. Students will also be encouraged to dance and spin with their hoop to make it that much more fun!

During the second half of the class, Katie will teach a few off-body hoop moves and show students how to combine them into a hoop-dance flow. She’ll teach a basic isolation, how to spin the hoop in one hand, and how to do a forward weave. There will be time for one-on-one instruction at the end of class if any students have specific questions!
