I'm offering my Hoop Play workshops at the Dance Centre - downtown Vancouver, corner of Davie and Granville St. Lots of hostels within easy walking distance, if you want to come into the city for the weekend and need an inexpensive place to stay!

These workshops are designed for hoopers with some previous experience. Tips and techniques for each specific area of hooping will take us through a challenging and fun afternoon! $30 with your own hoop, $35 if you need to rent a hoop, register with me at christahoops@gmail.com

Sunday July 8 3:30-5:00pm
Off-body – vertical and horizontal hand hooping, skips and jumps, body stalls, and more! You may wish to bring along a second, lightweight hoop (kiddie hoops are good for many of these moves) OR start practicing your hand hooping now so your hands have time to build up resistance to the pressure of the hoops!


Sunday July 22 3:30-5:00pm
Choreography – dramatic beginnings and endings, tempo matching, playing with different music themes, linking moves together with smooth transitions, and more! The class will include time to develop your own short choreographed piece, either alone or working with a partner. This is a great session for anyone interested in performing with us at Illuminares! Bring the hoop you plan to perform with, and if you’d like to test out a potential costume for hoop-ability, bring that too!

Sunday Aug 5 3:30-5:00pm
On-body – working with the hoop at your hips, knees, chest, shoulders, both horizontal and angle hooping. If you have more than one hoop, bring your favourite AND another that is as large as possible – having a slower hoop will help with many of these moves.


Hoop Shop
If you want to pick up a new hoop when you're in Vancouver, let me know - a week or two of notice would be nice, but some rush orders may be possible, too! Visit the HoopShop page at christahoops.com for prices and decoration options!


That's all, folks.. thanks!
