Hula hooping anyone?
yeah i know it doesn't have much to do with bellydancing, you can take it down if there isn't enough relevant information. but i do have to say that taking up hula hooping has helped with my stamina to do extra long songs and bellydance performances, given me new inspiration, and is really fun to do to drum beats and with a sword on your head. and after all, i am holding the workshop at a bellydance studio.
Workshop will be held at The Studio on Jordan Lane across from chuck-e-cheese here in good ol' Huntsville, Alabama.
workshop schedule and info:
Hooping 101
Hooping is a fun way to boost stamina, metabolism, and weight loss. Hooping is way more fun than the hula hooping you remember as a child, because the bigger and heavier the hoop, the slower it rotates around your body (making it easier for people of all shapes, sizes, and ages to do it).
About me:
After 6 years of solo belly dance and in desperate need of new inspiration, I turned to hula hooping. I was almost 200 lbs and depressed with hubby being gone to Iraq for a year. I had recently added Hoop girl (Christabel Zamor) to my friends list in Tribe.net and decided to check her out. I was floored at how cool and fun it looked. So I preceded to go to wal-mart and buy a kids hoop to try out. After learning the basic rotation and traveling, I realized I needed a better hoop, because I was hooked and wanted to learn more. So I bought a bigger, slightly heavier, easier hoop from hoopshine.com and looked up tricks and moves from hooping.org and youtube. I began to learn more and more tricks, some out of accident but it worked. Three to four months later I found myself 40 lbs lighter and inspired. Here I bring it to you to try. Smile and have fun!
Schedule:
8:00 am- 9:30 am Registration/shopping
9:30am -11:00 am Getting started
-Getting acquainted with your hoop (warm-up rotations)
-Easier, effortless ways to the basic rotation
-Traveling with the hoop

11:00am-12:30pm Lunch
12:30-2:30 Review of basic tricks

Costs:
$20 for workshop
$30 workshop package (includes a hoop to take home)
There will be enough hoops for everyone to use as well as for sale. All you need to bring is comfy clothes, your best pair of tennis shoes, an open mind, and a smile.
