Hoop Wedgies, Legs and Rolls with TanookiTwirls

Tiffany Tung ( commonly known in the community as Tanooki or TanookiTwirls) started hooping about two years ago in August of 2014 in Philadelphia . She quickly fell in love with the prop, and started performing a year later at PEX, Soundgarden Hall and Trocadero Theatre. She is 100% self taught from online tutorials and self-exploration, as at first she didn't know anyone else in the community. In that respect, she also started making her own tutorials as her own way of giving back to the community that has brought her so much happiness, to help others progress their journey.

This workshop will focus on different variations of advanced leg hooping, including the kick-start. From there, we will cover how to transition from one leg hooping into wedgies and knee breaks without using our hands, and further explore different wedgie variations. The second hour of the class will focus on different body rolls and reversals. Although not a requirement, it's recommended that students have the basic understanding of a wedgie, one leg hooping and chest roll to fully grasp this workshop, but I will cater to each individual student's skill level so you are sure to walk away with learning something new!

Tricks students will learn (be specific): Kick-start, Knee Breaks , Wedgie Flip, Calf Wedgie Breaks, Escalator into wedgie, Continuous wedgie, Wedgie to One Leg Hooping, Tracer Chest Roll , Chest Roll Reversals, K-Rolls and Behind the Back Vertical Body Rolls.
