Playing with Multiples
This month we will focus on the Separation-which is separating the hula hoops from each other, moving them to different parts of the body and finally maintaining them in that position. We will play with some of the many ways of getting the hula hoops to separate and transitioning from separation to separation all the while maintaining flow and a dance. As long as you are comfortable with hula hooping on your body than you are ready to play with multiples. Conditioning for moving the hula hoops up and down the body with out using the arms will be covered and we will look at what types of hula hoops are ideal for separation as well.

Dress Code:
Wear work out gear, preferably shorts because bare legs are a must for beginner leg hooping. Bring a yoga mat or towel for floor work. Please bring 4 of the same size hula hoop. If you do not have any some can be proviced WITH advanced notice. Please email misssaturn@gmail.com if you would like hula hoops provided.

$30. To register, simply click "add to cart."
No refunds after January 24.

Coming soon...

Coming February 19, delve into a large hoop with this hoop class focused on core body hooping, playing with speeds and finess all with a large hoop. We will do exorcises to help us "get into our hips" for the slinkiest hooping abilities, design our own cheoreography, and learn to look good doing it. This class is designed to teach beginners basic hoop skills and to improve the core body skills of advanced students.

Miss Saturn is the quintessential show person. It's hard to believe this glamorous New York personality was raised in Tennessee with goats and an outhouse. Perhaps this earthy upbringing is the reason for her ease with audiences from the Big Apple to small towns across the country. She creates original performance work that combines vaudeville antics, saucy burlesque, audience interaction, impeccable timing, sparkling costumes, wigs, accents, booty shakin' music (from Le Tigre to Zorba the Greek) and up to 40 hula hoops to create of a one of a kind performance. This is why this consummate performer is a mainstay of New York City's top burlesque and vaudeville scene.

As with any exercise or movement class, you may check with your doctor before taking this class. With any movement class there is a risk of injury. When you register you agree to accept responsibility for any injuries, waiving any right to hold responsible the teachers, event producers, or venue.
