Rubik’s Hoop (2.5 hours)

Apparatus: Hoop

Level: Improver to Advanced

Description: Bendy (and faux-bendy!) hoop tricks for those with an inclination for the odd and a

desire to confuse their audience – and occasionally perhaps freak them out a wee bit. Join Freya

(@pelliefey) for this contemporary jaunt into the strange and usual side of flex tricks, where

you’ll twist in new ways and have a chance to shed the conventional elegance of classic aerial.

We’ll start with an active flex warm-up (featuring some of Freya’s absolute favourite flexibility

exercises) then work through a series of twisty hoop shapes and transitions that will build into a

sequence.

Interested but don’t feel bendy enough? Don’t worry! Yes, there will be some more extended

move variations for those who appear to lack bones (if you’re looking for a flex challenge and

some more extreme bends, we 100% have you covered) HOWEVER a lot of the moves in this

workshop play into visual illusion and unconventional angles that look way more bendy and

organ-relocating than they actually are. You absolutely do NOT need a flat split or the ability to

stick your foot on your head – but this workshop will help you get freaky with that if you do.
