3 Hoop Rolls, Balances, and Tosses with Juan Guardiola

IMPORTANT UPDATE When artists are traveling, these added costs must be justified. There is always a possibility that airfare will be too high, as the case for Juan Guardiola.

The SpinCo team strives to create a friendly interactive learning experience at every event and will honor your commitment to attend. We will still hold class, delivered at the same location via projector video chat at 954 Dance Movement. Although Juan won't physically be in Philly, workshops serve an important purpose- workshops bring the community together.

We believe this workshop will meet your expectations and quite possibility, a new friendship. Get ready to learn the magical yet simple tricks of hooping with 3 hoops at the same time Sunday, May 7th.

This workshop is perfect for hoopers that are looking to expand their 3-hoop skillset and perhaps try out juggling techniques. Not a juggler? No problem! This workshop does not require that you are able to juggle 3 hoops in the air. Juan Guardiola will be teaching foundations to juggling as well as very impressive contact-based tricks that can get you comfortable manipulating 3 hoops at once. For those of us that love to juggle, come learn some combos that can tie together your juggling with other 3 hoop techniques.

We are so excited to welcome Juan Guardiola to Philadelphia for the first time! He is Chicago based and is past recipient of Flow Arts Institute Instructor of the Year. This year, find him performing and teaching at Kinetic fire, Fahrenheit, and Breathe: A Slackline & Discovery Festival. 

Workshop Description

In this class we will be going over 3 different techniques that you can manipulate your circles with:

• Rolls 
• Balancing
• Tossing

At the end of the class we will start to sequence all three together to make cool patterns that everyone will enjoy! Some of the sequencing patterns will include continuous lazies,  continuous tomahawks, muti-plex wall/wheel, continuous neck rolls, and juggle to forehead balance. Can't juggle? Don't know what these are or can't juggle? Don't worry! Juan's curriculum is developed for people of any juggling level to take away something of value. Please contact us directly if you have specific questions.
