Chicago Hoopers

topic posted Mon, September 10, 2007 - 9:57 PM by  offlineJennifer
Hi, I just picked up a hoola hoop a few weeks ago for the first time....watched the hoopnotica video and took a class at Burning Man, and now I'm totally addicted. I was wondering if there are any hoopers in Chi-town who want to get together and practice, or if anyone knows of anywhere in the city to take classes.

    Hi and welcome to the addiction! I'm about 5 hours south of you in Louisville but I do know that there is a girl in Chicago who is an amazing hooper. Her website is hooperpower.com/ and she has at least one video at Youtube youtube.com/watch Gosh I feel like a hoop staker! However, there's not a bunch of us in our area yet! We hope that changes soon!

    Happy hooping!

        Hi Jennifer~
        I will be starting up regular classes and workshops in October again. Taking a little break to travel with friends and plan my wedding.

        What I do have scheduled now is an October 20 Mixed level workshop from 1-3:00pm at Chang's Martial Arts in Chicago and an Intro to Hoopdance class October 21 from 3-4:30pm at Chang's. Much more to come however, including a monthly or bi-monthly donation-only hoopjam where Chicago hoopers of all levels can meet, share and practice. As the lovely Silverstar has mentioned...for now (until my website is completed) my newsletter will have all the information about events of all kinds so join the mailing list and hopefully we'll meet soon.
