POI for HOOPERS with Johnathan Poi Spinner Extra-ordinaire!
Many of the off the body hoop moves come from poi. All hoopers could benefit from a workshop that breaks down the fundamentals of poi in order to better understand the mechanics of our hoops. This workshop will help you with your off the body hoop moves, increase your agility and vocabulary with the hoop. Johnathan is one of the most saught after poi spinners in Montreal. We are pleased to have him help out the ihoopu gang understand the mechanics of poi to eventually transfer to poi-hooping.
WHERE: PARC LAFONTAINE (near statue Felix)
WHEN: SATURDAY JUNE 27TH 4:30-6pm

June Hoopnews

May was an exciting month with the Beginner Intensive and Performance Hoop Intensive and of course Hoop Convergence in North Carolina. As the weather warms up I am beginning to see more and more people with hoops around the city. This warms my heart as you all know how much I love to hoop! June has started off well, IHOOPU has 4 teachers in training so you will see them helping out around class and jams and eventually teaching some of the IHOOPU classes late in the summer and fall. We are about to begin the summer schedule which entails lots of outdoor hooping! Look out Montreal we are going to take over the parks!! The plus side of park-hooping is there are no ceilings to limit the heights at which we can toss our hoops into the sky, the down side being the coming of the rains will mean class is canceled. So pray to the sun gods!! Check below for all the classes going on throughout June & July! If the weather is iffy, consult twitter to see if class is on or off on the given day.
