South Peninsula Hospital offers free cirque classes on Wednesdays in August at SPARC. August 3 and 10 will focus on Hooping; 17th and 24th on Partner Acrobatics, and 8/31 is a Combo class.
Open to all ages and abilities. Hoop dance is a fun and creative way to get active. Bring your skills to the next level, learn new tricks, perfect the ones that you already know, and develop choreography & flow with the hoop. Practice hoops will be available for use in class. Partner acrobatics class will concentrate on technique to become bases and flyers. This class will give you specific exercises to train that will improve your beginner partner acro moves. Bring a friend or don’t, no partner necessary! Role reversal encouraged, all genders and all levels are welcome! The instructor is Stephanie Cortes who co-owns Cirque Roots, a non-profit grassroots artist collective based in Tuscon Arizona and is a long-time acrobat and instructor. Her vision is to inspire community to create and play through movement and dance. Bring a water bottle, hula hoop if you have one, and dress in layers.
