Howdy from North Carolina!
My name's Ann and my partner Baxter and I are hoopers here in NC. We met the lovely moderator of this tribe when we were in Seattle teaching one workshop this past February. Bax's hoop course is called The Hoop Path, and it emphasizes the Spiritual connection many hoopers feel to the Hoop and the Dance.
Our Vancouver workshops are sold out and Portland is getting full as well, but we still have tons of room in both Seattle workshops, so I asked Jenna if she had any folks she'd recommend reaching out to and she recommended posting on this tribe.
I've cut & pasted all the info below--here's a link to the Hoop Path tribe if you want to look further--and please feel free to message me or Bax on tribe if you have any specific questions:

Thanks! all info below--best to you from NC!
HOOP PATH WORKSHOPS IN PORTLAND, SEATTLE, & VANCOUVER
The Hoop Path is an instructional Hooping course designed to foster deeper connections between the Hoop and the Hooper. We are currently offering two workshops, "First Steps" and "The Warrior Path" in each of the following cities: Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver.
Included in this post are descriptions of the two workshops, as well as some of the feedback we have received from those who have taken them.
Workshop Descriptions:
The Hoop Path: "First Steps"
This 3 1/2-hour intensive will introduce you to the inspiring myths and powerful metaphors of The Hoop Path, a spiritual approach to hoopdance that has slowly built itself out of Jonathan Baxter's years of daily Hoop Practice. Bax's teaching incorporates prayerful guidance and unique storytelling as well as the straightforward breaking down of moves and practice of new techniques. This workshop is for those of us who already feel a connection with Hooping that goes far deeper than pure fitness, or for those hoopers who yearn to deepen and expand their Practice into subtler levels of awareness and grace. Together we will define and explore Hoop Path terms such as: pe*A*ce, Ritmo, One Tree/Two Tree, and Two Birds; as well as established techniques such as Reversing, Breaking, Paddling and Angle Hooping.
Hoop Path Workshop II: "The Warrior Path"
In this workshop we will explore the "Warrior Style" aspect of the Hoop Path, focusing on off-the-core techniques such as Point, Swing, and Samurai. This workshop is geared towards the hooper who has established a regular Practice and wishes to challenge her/himself and expand into new expressive territory. Since there will be much more active supporting of the hoop with the hands and wrists, a lighter hoop of a smaller diameter would work best for many of the exercises in this workshop. Bax will expound a bit on the Hoop Path Story, introducing new characters to inspire our inner Warrior.

“Baxter's work is absolutely mindblowing. I've learned enough in his 3 workshops to practice for a year and more... he is a gifted teacher who shares the art of hoopdance in a unique way. Anyone devoted to the hoop shouldn't miss out on this rare opportunity to study with a true master.”
---Christabel, aka Hoopgirl, San Francisco
"It was wonderful to connect with Baxter and hear his philosophy. His terminology was expressed through a story of the Hoop Path and how it came to be. I was inspired and fascinated by his exercises that focused on developing balance and strength. Being blindfolded was a major part of the experience, which encouraged me to go deep into the feeling of it... It was very exciting to finally get paddling, reversals and breaks on a whole new level.
I was buzzing from the experience all night...it was the tip of an iceberg to a whole new level of exercises....a breakthrough. I am once again inspired to continue my hooping practice with a whole new surge of energy and focus.
Thank you Baxter...you're wonderful."
---Diana Lopez (of BodyHoops) Ojai, CA
“For any hoopers who are hesitating or are undecided, I encourage you to give this workshop a try. I have been hooping for less than a year, and I learned SO much from Baxter in a very short amount of time. He is a sincere and inspiring teacher, and he is an incredible hooper. Taking this class made me see hooping in a completely different way. It's no longer just a fun activity full of tricks - hooping can be so much more.
Like Christabel, I wish I could fly down to LA to take this workshop again!”
---Natasha, aka Silverstar, San Francisco
“That was really fun, great sharing of a wonderful story, and lots of things to challenge me in my personal practice. Thank you, Bax!”
--Christa, aka Xta, Vancouver BC
“The class was wonderful. I’ve been working on the opposite current. Its nice to be reinspired to hoop more!”
--Betsy Rose, Seattle
“Thank you for coming, Baxter. That workshop changed my life!”
