Build strength, coordination and balance from a different perspective! Learning to do handstands is a fun, safe, and challenging way to expand your movement possibilities into the upside-down realm. We will learn how to balance on our hands, and how to move through inverted positions. Each class will begin with a dynamic warm-up, incorporate technique and guided practice, and end with a warm-down.

Using homemade hoops that are significantly larger and heavier then children’s hoops, adults can now enjoy the rhythmic flow of this emerging art form. The class will explore movement while hooping and learn foundational moves, alignment, and a plethora tricks. Transitions from one movement to another will be explored and individuals will develop their own dynamic style. No experience necessary! Hoops provided.
