For lucky aspiring hoopers in and around Baltimore, Maryland, I am pleased to announce my next beginner adult-oriented hooping class being offered on Monday evenings for six weeks this coming January-February. This class series will cover a number of topics, including basic waist and torso hooping, neck hooping, limb hooping, simple traveling, transitions, hoopdance, beginner levels, angles, tricks, and overall fluidity of movement. Using hoops that are larger and heavier than the drug-store variety, people of all sizes, ages, and skill levels can and do easily pick up the spinning movement. Hooping is a fantastic mood-maker, work-out, meditation tool, and peace-promoter. It not only exercises your body but your brain as well, with it’s constant bilateral hemisphere stimulation.  Give it a whirl and experience the joy that is taking over so many peoples’ lives. Here are the details:
