FANTASTIC FOLDY FLIPPY FUN with SHARNA ROSE
We are going to get creative and have some fantastic fun flipping and folding the hoop in this workshop. Sharna will help you find fun ways to transition the hoop and create fabulous new ways of breaking out of old patterns. Sharna Rose needs no introduction :) A revolutionary and incredibly creative hula hooper and one of the most competent, supportive and genuine teachers I have ever met! It's a pleasure to have her back to Birmingham Hoop Fest, there is SOOOO much to learn from her! |

ESCALATORS AND OTHER FUNK with LISA ELLIPSE
Escalators and other funk - exploring pathways and variations of escalators as well as adding little "funk" tricks and linking them together. This workshop will look at entry and exit points for an escalator and encourage you to not only learn the combos but think about how you can incorporate various escalators to your favourite little tricks. Elegant and beautiful performer, Lisa is an experienced teacher and event organiser in the hoop community. Lisa is obsessed with multi hoop so if you have any particular things you need help with she will be happy to give you any advice throughout the day!! What a treat! |

HOOP DANCE with HENNA MATANUSKA
In this workshop we will focus on movement/dancing. I will use a technique with which I’ve been working for years and show how it can be used to find new insights with the hoop. We will do creative exercises and make pieces of choreography with a method, that can be useful later on, when training independently or performing. You will find new ways to move with the hoop and how to combine elements to create flowing movement. Henna is a Dancing Cards ™ instructor. She is a great performer and creative contemporary artist with plenty of experience as a teacher at national and international conventions. Henna is always either touring or training and she comes from Finland! So we are very lucky to have her with us this year! :) |

HOOPBALL with MIKY RE
In this workshop we will explore ways to play with the hoop as if we were playing football! We will go through tricks and transitions to explore how we can use the hoop with our feet and how we can integrate these moves into flow.
Miky Re has been teaching hula hooping classes and workshops in Birmingham and organised Birmingham Hoop Fest for the past few years. She has recently completed an MA in Dance and Movement Therapy and she is using movement and hula hooping in her practice, engaging with a diverse audience and exploring the use of movement and performance to enhance well-being.
