Performing with hula hoops is difficult! It takes so much practice and there are a thousand things to think about while onstage. From connecting to your audience, to stage presence, to musicality, to costume & makeup, to choreography and after all that, accuracy and technicality under bright lights!
I understand how nerve-wracking it can be. I also understand how to break through those nerves to harness your own inner performer.
Whether you're performing online, for live audiences, or for hula hoopers, my goal is to help you become the performer you dream of being. I know the feeling of wanting to show the world something special but not being quite sure how. This course was created to help you fuse your own hoop tricks with a crafted stage presence based on my circus hula hoop approach.
This course will help you engage your audience, develop confidence on stage, look the part and move the part. With in-depth hula hoop drills, fancy tutorials, and industry advice, you will spin away from this course with the circus style foundation you need to go from hobbyist to pro!
