GREETINGS HOOPIES!

Hello from tropical Bali! I am currently at the Sacred Circularities Hoop Retreat being blown away by the magnificence of the talented international hoop community not to mention the stunning beauty of Bali. I have to highly recommend this retreat! If you are looking for something a little deeper with a sacred edge that celebrates the hoop in paradise come to next year's retreat. There are limited special offer tickets for 2013 so tune in now.

In the meantime, don't miss your spot in the coming term's courses in Sydney starting the last week of April and open for registration now. 8 Week Beginner Courses are being held in North Sydney, Alexandria, Bondi, Manly and Rozelle. The next 10 Week General Level Hoop Dance Intensive is on in Darlinghurst. For absolute Beginners catch a 2 Hour Beginner Workshop happening fortnightly at Dance Central in Surry Hills. The next kids class is on Sunday May 13 - contact me to save your hoopling a spot to spin.

Feeling the urge to make hooping your #1 job? The next Hoop Teacher Journey - a two day teacher training program - will be held on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 July in Sydney. Early Bird rates are now on offer until the end of April and the end of May. Learn more and take the leap - it's time!

Speaking of journeys... the Hoop Journey - a two day creative immersion in the hoop - was so much fun we're going to do it again. In Melbourne... stay tuned for dates. Think performance, costumes, photoshoots, videoshoots, sharing, creating, hoop making, hoop love... SO MUCH FUN! Full details to be released soon.

Finally... the moment i have been waiting for for ever so long - the release of the Galactic Rainbow Light Hoop. An epic journey in itself. We are currently product testing first generation Galactic Rainbows and will be ready to beam some out into the public in May. I will be sending out a Rainbow Pulse into the GalactOsphere as soon as they are ready... keep watching the skies.

Until next time hoopies...

LOVE IN HOOPS!

DARLINGHURST HOOP DANCE WEEKLY: MOVEMENT + FLOW

NEXT 10 WEEK TERM STARTS FRIDAY 27 APRIL

"Having progressed through beginner classes I was searching for something to increase the quality and poignant potency of my hoop-dance...On the guided dance journey format - it is self discovery aided with the knowledge and direction of a seasoned hoop dancer - it encourages an invigoration of the body, senses and the soul informed by your own movements and tacit corporeal poetry. Break through your "hooping ruts" and learn what your body is capable of both with and without a hoop."

The next General Level intensive will be held as a 10 week course with a focus on movement and flow. Suited to all skill levels and fitness this course explores foundations, applications and dance within the hoop. Throughout the course you will be guided through a choreographed routine that will take your hooping to the next level. You will also refine your foundations while synthesising technique and style with the aim of tapping into your own unique hoop flow. With a combination of on body and off body moves, as well as transitioning between the two zones and multiple hoop mastery, you will learn how to hold your body and rock your body simultaneously. Exploring the use of hands, arms, feet, legs, levels and space these classes are designed for those who wish to expand their practice further into the realm of hoop dance. Whilst an assumed knowledge of the hoop is required, all levels of skill are welcome from beginners through to advanced hoop dancers. Casual drop in students are welcome.

Where: St Johns Hall, 120 Darlinghurst Road, Darlinghurst
When: Fridays 8-9.30pm, 13 Jan - 23 March, 2012
Cost: $150 for 10 classes / $20 casual drop-in rate
(10 class pass may be used throughout 2012 Movement + Flow courses + classes in Darlinghurst)
