Want to take Hoop Dance Classes?

stellarhoopdance — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:23:15 GMT

Hey everyone!

So, I have been invited to start teaching some open hoopdance classes here in Huntsville! I want to start them in October (I know, that's so soon!) and I am looking at days to teach open classes, right now! :)

I am just wondering what day(s) would work best for anyone who would possibly like to start my class. It can be in the evening through the week (except Wednesday), and I am not opposed to weekend class, either!

Hope to hear from some of you soon!

love,Amanda

Hey Huntsville

stellarhoopdance — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:58:21 GMT

I just wanted to say hello to the other Huntsville hoop dancers! I don't know if I have gotten the opportunity to meet any of you over the last few months that I've been hooping, but I'd love to do some more hoopdancing with some local people!

moving..

HoopKat — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 07:09:34 GMT

well guys, it's been great, but on the 22nd I am moving to Colorado Springs, CO. I know, even before I get to try the open hoop classes. I can't take all those hoops with me, so i'm having the regular ones on sale for $10 each, and there's 1 specialty one with irridescent tape and purple tape originally $15 i'll knock down to $12. If they don't all sell before I fly out I will keep them at my parents and still sell them online through paypal and have my parents ship them out.

It was great trying to start a hoop revolution in Huntsville, but life has gotten a bit crazy and the airplane is calling me. If anyone wants to have one last hoop get together before I go, let me know, and I'll arrange something. Ciao bellas!

I can haz open hoop classes?

HoopKat — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 05:38:45 GMT

i probably should've done this in the beginning, but i think i'm going to see if i can have an open hoop class for the next series instead of pre-reg only. probably $12 per person walk in.

I'm going to start hosting Hoop-For-Alls starting in February at the Saturday Artist Market at The Flying Monkey. Dates are TBD right now, but I will be bringing hoops to play with and sell while listening to some uber cool music. I may even bring my henna! Those who want to come perform with their hoop, bellydance, or just plain jam out are welcome.

possible spring/summer hoopla?

HoopKat — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 21:10:20 GMT

anyone interested in a spring or summer hoopla? I would be providing hoops for everyone to tape themselves in whatever colors they want and it would be potluck as well as some hooping outside and pictures of course. maybe even move it to a bigger location as my house is small. ditto landing is about 5 mins. away from where i live. or there's always the park. lemme know what you guys think.

Hoop classes

HoopKat — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:06:09 GMT

Ok, the day is definite this time. hoop classes will be at the studio on jordan lane every friday from 6:30-7:30. classes are pre-register only due to space and is a 6 week course of classes for $50. Classes start this friday, January 18th. pre-register can be done through paypal (message me for paypal address), or can be paid on first day of course. please make sure you can make all classes as refunds are not possible.

I have 9 spots left for the classes. even if you're going to wait to pay at the first class i'll need your name to reserve your spot. I'm kicking off the very first 6 weeks of my classes by spicing things up with a little contest. those attending will find out friday...hehe ;)

The New and Improved Hooping.org 3.0

philohagen — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 00:04:24 GMT

Hello Huntsville!

Hooping.org has been restructured, redesigned and relaunched and I invite you all to stop by and check it out. There's more information about what's been going on posted there, and now that I'm doing this solo as well (Vera stepped down in February) I'd also like to invite you all to contribute your writing, photos, thoughts, videos and more. I welcome your talent and input in keeping this almost four-year-old world-wide community hooping project alive. There's some good information too on how to get a hoop group going and if you need any help let me know. And if you want to write something about getting one started or what's happening in Alabama that would rock my world!

Peace!
- Philo
