Price is $20 per class, $35 for both. Corestar dojo is located at 439 W. 2nd. Contact Dustin to register: dustin.hubel@gmail.com -- Contact Revolva if you want a set of poi hoops for the poi hoops class ($10) or instructions on how to make your own (26" across).
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS AND DUSTIN'S BIO:
2-4 Spinning with Hoops - The Basics
This workshop focuses on the basics of spinning poi with hoops. Proper ways to grip the hoops, turns, transitions, weaving, and butterfly variations will be covered. Limited amount of practice hoops available. Bring your own hoops (26" across) or contact Revolva over tribe or at jonesing@hotmail.com if you need some hoops.
6-8 Intermediate to Advanced Poi - Spinning with Geometry
This workshop is meant to introduce a system that breaks down and simplifies even the most complicated poi patterns by giving spinners an understanding of planes, timing and direction, antispin, and compound circles. All of these concepts are then brought together using 'focus points', a prototype concept for Dustin's forthcoming instructional video. This will be the siteswap of poi. Also to be covered: Turning techniques, pirouettes, flowers, isolations, and airwraps.
Dustin is new to the Portland area. He has performed on stage at the 2006 International Jugglers Association 'Tricks of Light' show, has been featured on the Ministry of Manipulation website, and garnered quite a bit of attention in the online community through his hoop manipulation videos.
