Saturday 7th March and Sunday 8th March 2020 hosted by HoopSpin.
We are delighted to be back in Manchester for our ELEVENTH YEAR.
We started this event so long ago when we didn't know anyone who wanted to hoop with us so we made gatherings. I hope we've kept that ethos of gathering in the winter to geek out meet new people and learn things.
I love our line up. There is so much to learn and this years event covers double tech, single hoop tricks, flow and hoop and silks.

SilknHoop devloped by Andeli is a completely new experience in single or double hooping. Add the silks to your hoop means: Oh look a new tool in my hands!
You may be limited in your hoop movement but your body movement have to be extreme expressive. Extension is all! It makes you playful and creative you will create stunning patterns. The awareness of turning silks around you is a unique and special experience. By learning to play SilknHoop you also learn some funny single & double hoop vortex and ocho patterns, which you can easy integrate in your “normal” hoop flow.

Andeli‘s lives the life in which she perceives ‚flow’ as a gift to yourself, something to integrate into your everyday life. And she speaks from the heart when she says, “flow yourself beautiful!“
Spinning Poi & dance with the Hoop, altered Andeli’s life and her love of motion and founding new movements has since been ever lasting. Out of her never ending creativity she developed SilknHoop in 2018, SilknHoop is a playful limited way to spin silkscarf on Hoops.

Jennie Brennen
WORKSHOP:
Throw Your Hoop(s) Up In The Air!
In this workshop we will exploring the wonderfully dynamic world of hoop tosses! We will be learning four basic methods of tossing the hoop, getting the technique down so that we can perform them consistently and reliably, then applying it to more complex, creative and show stopping one hoop and twin hoop moves, including foot tosses and tossing out of two hoops one hand!
Pre Requisites/ What To Bring:
There are no pre-requisites to attend, as we’ll be starting from the beginning and then building on simple moves. As long as you’re confident spinning one hoop both forwards and backwards on one hand, you’re in for a good time! However, if you’re looking for complexity and innovation, or you really love twins, I’ve got you, too! Please bring at least one lightweight hoop, or two the same size if you want to learn the twin variations.

Jo Mondy
WORKSHOP:
Be the flow with Jo mondy
You know those hooping moments when you’re so totally absorbed in a trick or dancing to a song that you forget about everything else? That’s flow! But it’s not always easy to access a flow state in your hoop practice. In fact, sometimes it’s really hard and the more you try, the more you end up feeling frustrated. In this workshop, we will look at breaking down the barriers that stop you from feeling your flow – from practices that help break you out of ruts, to practical tips about moving from one trick to another and much more. Bring your favourite hoop and get ready to “be the flow”.
