Opening to Your Grace - Exploring Physical Freedom & Expression
for Hoopers & Fire Dancers

Join Miss Rosie in this special 3 hour event - Designed specifically
for hoopers and fire dancers, this workshop focuses on techniques,
drills, and exercises to create heightened body awareness and greater
freedom and expression in your body. Learn ways to allow ease and grace
to arise through your movement and hooping!  Workshop topics and
benefits will include:

  • How to improve your posture and move from your center
  • Stylized
    dance technique ranging from Classical to urban styles
  • Generating
    authentic and expressive movement within the hoop
  • Inventing
    interesting and fun choreography
  • Intermediate & Advanced
    hooping combinations
  • One-on-one technical coaching
  • Forum
    for asking technical movement, hooping, and dance questions

Put more grace, fluidity, and style into your hooping and fire
dancing!  This class is open to all
levels, and no dance experience
is required!  All Intermediate content can be modified for beginners.
Please note: We will not be spinning fire in this class.

What To Bring:

  1. one easy on-body hoop and one hand hoop, or your other spin tools
  2. notebook
    and

    pen

  3. yoga mat
  4. water
  5. 3-5 paperback books (not hard cover), which will be used for an exercise. The content of the
    books has no
    relevance - they just need to be paperback. If you don't have paper
    back, hard cover will work, but isn't ideal. Please bring a variety of
    skinny and thick books ranging from 1/2" to 1" thick.
  6. And lastly, bring an "exploratory" and "woohoo!" attitude!

Some lightweight advanced HDPE hoops will be available for purchase, in addition to stylish clothing and accessory vending by Onyx's Closet & Miss Rosie's Accoutrements.
