<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Twisted Orbit is a dynamic
fusion of cutting edge circus, dance, comedy and, above all, hoops!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As
part of their West Coast Hoopologie Tour, they will visit the Comox
Valley to teach and perform. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">They</span> will host two evening hula hooping
workshops at Comox Recreation. You can also see them perform at
Atmosphere Gathering the weekend of August 19-21 and there will be a
free community circus-jam with free beginner hooping lesson the evening
of Monday, August 22 in the Comox Recreation field. That Monday
evening, hoops will be provided free for community use by Island Hula
Hoopla. Come play, learn something new and discover for yourself why
hula hooping is so fun!</span><br />

is a professional teacher and performer from the UK who has been
formally trained at Circomedia – Europe’s leading centre for
contemporary circus and physical theatre. He has taught hooping at
prominent events all over the UK, Europe and the US as well as being a
teacher on Hoop City and Hooping University. He founded the Bristol Hoop
Massive and the UK hoop website the Hoop Hub and has won or been
nominated for multiple Hoopies and Revolvies (this year he jointly won
the Male Hooper of the Year Hoopie!) He is an innovative and
multi-disciplined performer who has a strong passion for circus in all
it’s forms – but just at the moment you’re unlikely to find him anywhere
other than inside a hoop!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><br />The versatile, vivacious, vaudevillian
vixen, Valentina dazzles audiences around the world with her unique
vision of circus dance fusion. Sharing her magic in both performance and
workshops is her passion and drive. Valentina is a second generation
belly dancer who was raised in the Los Angeles underground art scene by
her mother, Leela, a successful theatrical belly dance icon. Valentina
now blends belly dance with hooping, fire, burlesque, snake charming and
aerial Lyra. Her ability to seamlessly combine these dance forms gives
her a provocative style unlike any other. She is the leader of The Hoop
Unit, a hoop fabricator and an event producer.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Exciting hula hoop skills workshops offered the evening of Wednesday August 17 are: “What the Fork?”
1 & 2 Hoop Tech (Intermediate 2 Hoops) from 6-7:30 p.m. and "Triple Hoop Shenanigans" from 7:30-9 p.m.<br /> <br />
"What the Fork!" In this workshop will teach some interesting moves with one hoop that
introduce the "Fork Grip"! We will then look at how we can use this
extremely useful grip with two hoops to do moves such as turning weaves
and fountains without doing any grip changes or twisting your hoops!
Coming to the workshop with the ability to do forwards and backwards 2
beat weaves will increase the speed in which you can leave these moves. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">"Triple Hoop Shenanigans:" This workshop is
for anyone who thinks three hoops is out of their league. We’ll explore
some instantly accessible on and off body multi-hooping moves that look
beautiful mixed in with some Native American hoop dance combinations
all with 3 hoops. These patterns feel and look great and are wonderfully
fun to play with. Learn how to transition between them to create new ways of
moving with your triple hoops.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<div align="center" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I have considered
myself a hoopdancer for 7 or 8 years now. My dedication and
enthusiasm for my practice began waxing, waxing, waxing, then,
ultimately, waning, waning, waning, until... you get the idea. Up
until recently, I had felt I would be okay if I never really hooped
again, the way I hooped in those early days, when I spent late nights
on Hoopcity or Youtube, watching hoop tutorial after hoop tutorial.
Needless to say, in those early days, I was obsessed. Or, to equate
my hoop romance with a new love relationship, perhaps it is healthier
to say infatuated rather than obsessed.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> In the last two or
three years, however, I had to make choices with my time. I chose
belly dance over hooping and spent much of my extra energy and cash
on dance workshops, classes, travel and costuming. The majority of
my performances were belly dance based, and my exercise regime
consisted of dance conditioning, yoga, and drills. Indeed, most of
my social interactions revolved around belly dance.
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I did hoop, but
only when it was leading up to a fire spinning spectacle or a “belly
hoop” performance (belly dance and hoop fusion, which I am often
asked to do since it adds a little more visual diversity to a show).
Other than that, months would go by before I picked up my hoop, I
didn't devote time to learning new skills, and besides playing around
at festivals, I was fine with this general drifting apart of “us.”
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> At one point, I
thought to myself, if I never hula hooped again, I would be okay with
it. It was, “Sorry, Hoop. I think it would be better if we were
just friends.”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> All this changed
for me last fall when, for a variety of reasons, I started to pursuit
the hoop with vigour once again. Enter phase two of my hoop
relationship, where my hoop and I decided to reinstate our vows.
There I was, comfortably in love with my familiar old partner, but
doing the same expected moves: the dreaded relationship “rut.”
I was experiencing a second honeymoon with my hoop, yet the vitality
of the early years wasn't quite there.
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Coming back after
my hiatus, I noticed so much had changed in the hoop world, different
styles and techniques I found endlessly inspiring, yet I was
challenged trying to tap into that new creative spirit. I wanted to
keep my own style, influenced by those body-rocking pioneers of the
early hoop renaissance, while longing to spice up my skills. I also
fell victim to comparison, the saboteur of creativity, and it
hijacked my mental space while I watched hoop videos of these new,
mind-blowingingly talented hoop innovators. Comparison is still
something I struggle with, but I'm getting better at channelling that
energy into inspiration instead of feeling not enough.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Late this winter,
it was with impeccable timing I noticed Hooperfit Victoria's Meg
McCormick hosting a weekend workshop: <em><span style="font-style: normal;">Anah
Reichenbach, aka “Hoopalicious.” </span></em><em><i>The</i></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">
Hoopalicious! Anah was my first hoopspiration, and she continues to
be so. As I mature as a human and a dancer, I notice this
interesting fact about myself: it isn't necessarily the tricks a
dancer does that draws me to them, it's how they move, and often,
it's a simple accent danced in a moment of stillness that wins my
heart rather than some flashy techiness. With Anah, her technical
skills are solid without a doubt, but it's her quality of movement
and creative expression I find truly inspirational. Not only that,
the current theme for her workshop tour is “Romancing the Hoop,”
and it's all about building/re-building our relationships to our
preferred instrument of flow, whether we are in the passionate throes
of early love or in the“scheduling the nookie” stage. This
workshop was just what I needed.</span></em></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> On
the Saturday, Anah had us write down in journals why we hoop, and
like any relationship, what do we give it in return. For example,
for one reason I wrote, “freedom of movement,” and in return, to
my hoop-partner, I devote “the practice and purchasing of hoops.”
This writing activity sounds simple, but for many of us it may serve
as a helpful reminder in any area of our life where we are
experiencing the doldrums. The same activity could be applied to
“why I jog” or “why am I avoiding sugar” and can help us keep
our purpose fresh in our mind without taking it for granted as time
passes. For me, it helped me put my hoop practice into perspective.
It recreated intention. Then, we devoted the day to “body rocking”
hoop exercises and techniques, which felt familiar yet strange with
all the off-body hooping I've been doing lately and which seems to be
popular these days in the hoop world!</span></em></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> A
note on perspective: Anah was a master at honouring the importance
hooping plays in our lives, all the while not taking it, or
ourselves, too seriously. For example, on day one we began with
waist hooping which we could all do easily. Anah would say, “You
are moving an object with your waist! How cool is that? This was
the hardest skill to learn at first and now you are all doing it
effortlessly.” And we were all like, “Yeah! That's pretty
freaking cool! Waist hooping is a pretty amazing concept!” That
said, if we were to drop a hoop at any time in our process, Anah
would say, “If the hoop drops, no big deal. It's just hooping,
not the end of the world.” I really appreciate Anah's philosophy
that simultaneously understands the importance and dedication of
practice and celebrates the spiritual aspect of hooping, all the
while allowing for joy, spontaneity, freedom, mistakes, and
lightheartedness. In North America, we live in a competitive society
where much of life is focused on results. Early in my hooping life,
I too, I became overly concerned with nailing that trick, or being as
good as so-and-so, and this pressure I put on myself contributed to
me leaving the hoop for awhile, I believe. It could be why I burnt
out: it took me away from why I hooped in the first place. </span></em></span>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> On
Sunday, Anah led us in her off-body moves. Although she did teach us
drills, combos, and technique, I don't want to dwell on those so much
here. Quite often, I forget 90% of what I physically learn in a
workshop weekend but the insight and wisdom I gain I remember
forever. So here's what I scribbled down in my journal that day:
“Feel hoop around body. Whenever stuck on a move. Focus on
contact.” This was truly a magical moment, and I'll explain my
gibberish now. </span></em></span>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> Anah
instructed us to think of a trick we maybe get about 50% of the time
(I chose the bunny ear pass). She then told us to close our eyes and
waist hoop, just feel the hoop around the body at every contact
point, and the ease by which we do this. Just breath and feel. We
then returned to our “trouble” move with the same approach: just
feeling the hoop as it moved around our body. No only did I nail the
bunny ear pass each time after that, I felt more flowy and in-tune
with my hoop. I was less anxious and more present. It was kind of
spooky, actually, how well this tactile and mindful approach to
hooping worked. Spooky-cool.</span></em></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> All
in all, I really benefited from the sensual and mindful experience
Anah offered us in her Romancing the Hoop workshop. The weekend was
an epiphany for me. I feel I live my life analytically and also
instinctively, and this has been how I approach my hooping. I'm a
mind/heart person: equal parts intellect and emotion. The benefits
I've received from my hoopdance practice were sensual and spiritual,
but I wasn't always aware or appreciative of these by-products, nor
was I cognizant of how tuning into my sensual side could not only
help my hoop practice but also make it more pleasurable. Every since
participating in Hoopalicious' workshop I can honestly say I enjoy
hooping even more, I am enjoying my body while it hoops even more,
and I feel more playful and light. And at this stage in my life,
this is exactly the kind of romance I need.</span></em></span></div>

Here's ten things you can do with a hoop besides "the Hula"....<br />
<br />
~spin on arms<br />
~roll/toss to a friend<br />
~stretch with it<br />
~balance it on your body<br />
~spin on one leg<br />
~skipping<br />
~jump through<br />
~roll down a hill<br />
~spin above your head<br />
~sit inside the circle and pretend you are going on a spaceshipTracey Hooplahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05070945083911595023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228790066900671104.post-79810803344823387582015-12-09T11:55:00.000-08:002015-12-09T11:55:02.313-08:00Hoopy Holidays!<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You can get a beautiful hoop of your own, or to give to someone special, at Silhouette Dance Shop on 5th Street in Downtown Courtenay. I am also creating custom hoops! The shop has a selection of sturdy adult hoops and lightweight dance hoops. Kids hoops, polypro and specialty sizes are handmade on order. Often, it only takes a day to create your special hoop. </span> <br />
