For a 90 minute session, we’ll do:

  1. Warmup & Introduction, 5 minutes - joint mobility & imaginative movement
  2. Hula Hoop Tricks, 25 minutes - waist hooping, lasso/spin, weave, jump through, isolations
  3. Balance & Core Training, 5 minutes - planks and dynamic balances

  5. Group Acrobatics, 25 minutes - partner balances, banque formations, group 2-up
  6. Cool Down, 10 minutes - long-held stretches for muscles and ligaments
