&lt;br/&gt;Saturday, July 11
&lt;br/&gt;5:00-8:00pm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sunday July 12
&lt;br/&gt;1:00-4:00pm
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Workshops both days are in the Birmingham studio at The Dance Centre, corner of Davie and Granville St.  (visit http://thedancecentre.ca for location details)
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Registration will be $120 USD  for both days.  First day only (for newcomers) and second day only (for those who have attended a Hoop Path workshop previously) pricing will only be announced close to the date if spaces remain available.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Registration will be done online, through the normal ticketing/registration service that they use for all of their workshops.  That should be set up in the next week or so, one of us will post the link when it is ready.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Extra social opportunities:  come downtown early and join in the Saturday Circus, the weekly public playdate of the Vancouver Hoopers and the local skill toy community.  2-4pm, we meet outside the Vancouver Art Gallery at the corner of Robson and Howe, and play at the base of the steps leading to the Gallery Cafe.  Bax and Ann will be there (Ann's stoked about working on contact juggling and I'm going to see if Bax has mad unicycle skills), and we always have extra hoops, poi, and juggling gear to share!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We will also find a nearby restaurant for a post-class group dinner on Saturday night to recharge after our first hooping session.  (meal cost is not included in the workshop registration fee)
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you are coming from out of town and are looking for lodging, there are a ton of options within a few blocks of the Dance Centre, from high-class hotels to low-cost hostels.  HI-Downtown Vancouver (on Burnaby St, quieter) and SameSun (on Granville St, above the strip with all the bars and nightclubs) are both decent locations, with dorm beds starting at $32.  If you'd prefer to be billeted or couch surt, let me know and I'll see if anyone local can play host for the night! (I can't guarantee this as I know that most of our regulars are short on house space)  I'm also happy to provide transit instructions from the airport or bus depot to the Dance Centre, just toss me a line.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What to bring:  a water bottle, layered clothing so you can stay comfortable as the studio heats up, your favourite hoops (a range of sizes will be nice, but it is fine to just bring one if that is all you've got, or contact me if you'd like a loaner for the weekend!), pen and paper, any medication or glucose you'll need to stay safe through extended activity,  and extra cash for drinks, dinner and hot Hoop Path tshirts! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Still to come:  a description of each day of the workshop, and the registration link.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Already here:  mass excitement!!!!
&lt;br/&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;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!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sunday July 8 3:30-5:00pm
&lt;br/&gt;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!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sunday July 22 3:30-5:00pm
&lt;br/&gt;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!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sunday Aug 5 3:30-5:00pm
&lt;br/&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hoop Shop
&lt;br/&gt;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 http://christahoops.com for prices and decoration options!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;That's all, folks.. thanks!
&lt;br/&gt;
