On-Body Circus Style Multihooping with Jenny Hill

How many hoops can you do at once? 2? 3? 4?  Learn the secret to on-body multihooping from Jenny Hill!

The workshop will cover circus hooping drills to strengthen and add to your daily practice and skill up with some techniques for splitting hoops on-body. Splits sizzle and delight! This technique requires lots of practice, strengthening, and getting your body used to multiple ways of moving at the same time and building up muscle memory. If you’re frustrated by the lack of tutorials out there on how to do waist/knee spits, and other combinations of splitting hoops (2, 3 ,4, 5, & 6 splits), this is the workshop for you! 

This workshop is open to those who have experience with using one or multiple hoops.  However, it is helpful to have some knee, chest and waist fluency.

Also stay for the PopUp&Spin from 5-7pm at no additional cost!

Tricks Covered:

• Circus hooping drills to strengthen

• Techniques for splitting (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 hoops)

• Various tricks for multi hoop sizzle

I’ve been wanting to share this workshop for a long time and look forward teaching what I’ve learned through others and in my own practice. Hope to see you there!

WHAT TO WEAR?

Wear or bring shorts and whatever you are most comfortable wearing for hooping (tight fitting but comfortable and flexible, and no fabric that is too silky or slippy). No shoes on the rubber mats, so wear dance shoots or gripped socks if you don't want to be barefoot. There is a full changing room and locker room to store your things during class.
