I would be happy to come up to SC and do a playshop...how fun! Perhaps Blaze might help us in organizing that, like in mid-late February. are there other interested recruits?

The current update is that Marilee is working on putting on a beginning workshop herself and looking to book Christabel for an advanced workshop in the spring.

In the meantime we are looking at creating a weekly hoop jam evening drop-in series for wintertime at a local dance studio - it all depends on studio availability times. I'm looking for a half partner to guarantee funds to book a studio time and hopefully recoup those funds from attendance.

Marilee also teaches small beginning classes on a regular basis in neighboring Soquel. If interested, try to tribe mail her directly - if she doesn't respond (because she's not really a computer gal), contact me and I'll put you in touch with her by phone. Once we have dates for any events, I'll post them here.

What this tribe needs is a local base to support local events. If anyone knows hoopers local to us, especially tribe people, let them know about this tribe, so they can sign up to receive our postings. My feeling is if we can flush out the locals and generate some interest, it will be enable us to use the tribe network to make fun stuff happen here in Santa Cruz.

If another workshop comes up (it is warmer now!!!!) count me in.... I'll be happy to provide extra hoops and champagne :)

This is just the thing I’m looking for, a local activity.

Count me in, i'll be at the sunday jam this week, hope to see you all there.
