Sarah Smith has been teaching Hooping 1 and Hooping 2 at Koken Art Factory since October 09. She has spread the hooping word and taught many students. Her path is now taking her to Colorado to teach other hoopers and continue her own education.
Her Tuesday night classes will be greatly missed, Sarah is a great instructor. We wish Sarah only the best on her journey. Her last sessions will be held on Tuesday July 12, 2010. Please take classes with her while you can. She can be contacted at sarah@stlhoopclub.com.
The STL Hoop Club has many exciting plans to offer new classes and unique workshops in the future. Please stay posted for the new sessions and dates.
