I’ve just joined the Foundation for Community Dance and am loving their vision:
We believe that dance can transform the lives of individuals and communities. Our vision is for a world where dance is part of everyone’s life, our mission to make engagement with dance important to individuals, communities and society.
I’m looking forward to being part of making that happen in HOOPDANCE.
HOOP HOOP - it’s the sound of the police!

Weekly Hoop Dance classes in Hampstead are starting on 23rd February. Thursday 9th February is a taster session to get you started - come and say hello and give it a whirl.
7-8 • Basics for beginners/the hoop curious
8-9pm • Jam time for improver/flow hungry hoopers
Interchange Studios
213 Haverstock Hill
NW3 4QP
Special *hello* price = £5 for 1 hour
Don’t worry if you can’t hoop yet - that’s a good place to start. If you feel you’re between levels, we can work out which you’d get more out of on Thursday. It’s going to be fun!
Hoops are provided. Wear what you’re comfortable in and bring a bottle of water. We will get hot : )
From 23rd February 6 week courses will start:
7-8pm • For absolute beginners and hoopers wanting to improve their non-dominant side or really get to grips with lifts, jumps, angles and more…
8-9 • Progression classes. For those hoopers to explore ideas/improve flow/defeat that nemisis move and dance, dance, dance. We won’t cover the basic moves here, so you will already be at the stage where you’re comfortable in your hoop. Sessions will have a specific idea/body area to explore and there will always be time for jam.
Space permitting there may be the option to come to sessions as drop-ins if you can’t make the whole block.
Please RSVP on Facebook, email taste@thejoyofhooping.com or give me a call on 07989411573 for a chat.
