Hey East Bay hoopers, and hoopers-to-be! This Saturday is the final class in the March series on Foundational Hoop Technique at Sweet's Ballroom.  Please join us! More info here...

Last Tuesday I decided to take a week off of my regularly consumed media
sources: the radio and Facebook. I was driving in my car that day listening to
an inspiring story on NPR, and had an impulse to get involved in the project
being discussed. I then had a lightning bolt thought - "NO! You already
have so much to do!" I then considered how much time I spend having
stimulation fill the space of my day.  I decided to take a month off of
media, and then thought that that might be a bit extreme. So I started
with something more attainable:
"a week...and possibly two."

Miss Rosie will be teaching two more Foundational Technique classes this month at Sweet's Ballroom in Oakland. Last chance - Next month we  move on to Dance Technique for Hoopers!

I've quoted part of this excerpt before, that was taken from a letter written by the great Martha Graham to her long-time friend and dancer Agnes de Mille.

The Piscean birthday celebration was a blast!  Thank you to all who came out to celebrate and support the Movement Play Arts Fund.  Check out what we're up to at MovementPlay.com
