St. Louis Hoop Club

The STL Hoop Club has been busy hooping, meeting new people, teaching, and getting things scheduled for summer 2010.  We have been given many unique opportunities recently and can hardly wait to see what happens next!

 Sunday Open Hoop Jam has been going great!  We have seen many new faces,  and are thrilled that so many  fire spinners have joined us.  Occasionally, we have been hosting live bands and DJ’s on Sunday’s, which has been great!  DJ UNDERTOW will be spinning for us on March 28.

Sarah Smith’s Tuesday Beginning Hooping class has been a huge hit.  Sessions are every Tuesday from 7:15 to 8:15 at the Koken Art Factory.    Hoops are available to borrow.

In April Ziggy and Surka from Kansas City will be joining us to host a Double Hoop and Mini Hoop Workshop.  These ladies are the best in the Midwest and we are thrilled about their visit.  More details will be announced soon!

July the STL Hoop Club is proud to host a Beginning Hooping Workshop at the Botanical Gardens for The Healthy You, Healthy Planet Festival on July 17.  Plan are still on schedule for World Hoop Day 1010 in October at the Gardens.

Stay posted for more information coming soon.  Please visit us on Facebook and Twitter.  Happy Hooping! 

For details about anything hoop related please email us at michelle@stlhoopclub.com or sarah@stlhoopclub.com.

The Hoop Club has been very busy these last few months.  We have been hooping all over town!  We have several exciting hoop gigs coming up in the future.  We are also available for bookings and classes.  Join us for Open Hoop Jam every Sunday at our studio at The Koken Art Factory from 7-10 pm.
