    Hoop Choreography: The Barbie Group Dance Scene

We will start with the music slowed down and work our way up to full speed. You will need one medium-sized hoop (large enough to waist hoop briefly, but not SO large that off-body moves become impossible; I will bring a few extra 30-33 inch polypro hoops). We will also discuss what makes a crowd-pleasing performance and how to navigate drops or tech issues on stage.
