Partner Hooping and Twins with Carolyn Mabry (8+yrs)

Carolyn Louise Mabry will teach partner hooping, as well as twin hooping.

The partnering portion of the workshop will explore how to hoopdance with another person or with groups. We will touch on tandem hooping, two people sharing one hoop, two people utilizing two hoops, tricks and moves for groups of three and/or four. These can also be combined to shape dances with large groups of people.

We will also explore a wide variety of moves for twin hoops. These moves also translate to minis but, for this class, we integrate core twin moves as well, including pizza tosses for twins. Other moves include an exploration of thread-the-needles (including variations, turns and tosses), continuous contact rolls on the chest and back, double contact rolls and tuck tosses, three-beat-weaves, z-spins, tosses, and much more.

“Usually eight years of age is when they can focus on something for 90 minutes if they’re really into it. If anyone that young attends this weekend, we would appreciate it if a chaperone would stay on site. Or attend the class too! As long as they’re not disruptive and really want to learn hooping, they may be able to fit right into an adult curriculum.”
