"Before Sandra's classes, I learned a lot of my stuff off of YouTube so I naturally signed up for the Budding hoopers b/c there were tricks in it that I was struggling with or didn't know. Then I signed up for the seeding hoopers class b/c I figured it would be a good idea to have a solid foundation of the basics and I am so glad I did!! It has really helped me refine what I already had learned and I've gotten so much better because of it.
And the breaks and reversals class is awesome too!"

Blooming Series - Level One and Two

This series is great for those who have a good amount of "flight-time" under their hooping belt. Here we will play with unique and flashy moves inspired by rhythmic gymnastics (don't worry, we don't have to be bendy) and play with putting all the pieces together, allowing us to move freely from vertical chest hooping to horizontal moves quickly and smoothly. Check out the class outlines for a list of the moves taught in each class.

Minis Class

Poi style mini hooping will open up a whole new world of hooping. Many of these moves can also be done with larger hoops as well so if you're interested in working with twins. This class can be a great introduction to working with two hoops at once.



Breaks and Reversals

We'll learn the physics of stopping the hoop and reversing it quickly, slowly or with a freeze break. Breaks can add a whole new element to your hoop dance. Enjoy the ability to keep the beat with any style of music by breaking to the rhythm of the music. Also use breaks to "save" the hoop during messy situations and "mistakes".
