Hooping Foundations Series Class with Dena Beratta
Come learn the basics of hoop dancing with Hoopnotica® certified teacher Dena Beratta. You’ll have so much fun, you won’t notice that you are getting an incredible fat-burning and toning workout. 
In this series, you will learn how to keep the hoop spinning on your waist, hips and above your head, and you will learn how to take the hoop on and off your body in a beautiful spiral. Then we will build on the movement and skills and begin to develop grace in our movements as we move the hoops beyond our waists. Students will learn new corkscrews, chest, neck and shoulder hooping, one-leg and two-leg thigh hooping and waist angles. This series is appropriate for hoopers who already took the Hooping Foundations series as well as beginners. More experienced hoops will have opportunities to add intensity and work on adding more layers to their skills.
Each class will include warm-ups and detailed instructions for each technique, and some “hoop jam” time—a free period to work on techniques or blending moves together into a personal flow.
