Fall hoop classes with Natale Luma!


Hoop with Natale Luma

Hey Reader,

Natale here, popping in with my first ever newsletter installment! It's my absolute honor to have you here ๐Ÿฅฒ If you're getting this email, it's because you let me know that you wanted to stay up to date on opportunities to learn from me. Well, I'm excited to announce that I'll be starting multiple new classes next week at Cabaret Atelier's gorgeous new studio in downtown Bellingham! With this new round of classes I'll be moving to a series-based format, focusing on building hoop skills through choreography creation and a focus on musicality, stage presence, and finding your unique style. Here's what I'll be teaching:

โ€‹Beginner Hoop Choreographyโ€‹

8 week series | $160

Tuesdays 6-7pm | Sept 5th - Oct 24th

Pre-Reqs: None! Beginners welcome

This series is for the beginner hooper who wants to explore the foundational elements of hoop dance through a fun and expressive group choreography. Youโ€™ll learn the basics of both on-body and off-body hooping, build muscle memory with drills and move combos, discover techniques to inspire your own unique style, and gain confidence in stage presence and musicality. This class concludes with an optional video shoot on Sunday 11/5 AND multiple performance opportunities.

โ€‹Double Hoop Choreographyโ€‹

8 week series | $160

Tuesdays 7-8pm | Sept 5th - Oct 24th

Pre-Reqs: Basic single hoop proficiency

This series will double the fun and explore the exciting world of dancing with two hoops! Over the course of 8 weeks, youโ€™ll learn the basics of direction & timing, creating crisp lines with two hoops, weaves and how to flow between them, impressive trick combinations, and showy flourishes โ€“ all culminating in a dynamic group choreography. This class concludes with an optional video shoot on Sunday 11/5 AND multiple performance opportunities.

โ€‹Hoop Fitnessโ€‹

Drop-In | $20 per class

Tuesdays 9:30-10:30am | Sept 5th - Oct 24th

A weekly drop-in, HIIT-styled class that blends foundational hoop moves with muscle strengthening, endurance building exercises. Beginners welcome, no experience necessary! Bring a yoga mat & plan to sweat. Hoops are available to borrow or buy.

(PS: Use code ' EARLYSQUAD ' at checkout for 15% off - good through the end of the week ๐Ÿ’“)

I know that signing up for an 8-week class series is a big commitment - both financially and energetically. If you'd like to participate but have a financial barrier, please reach out to me directly and I'll do my best to work with you! I'm so excited to help my students experience the major growth in skill & confidence that comes from dedicated practice time each week, and I would love for you to be involved.

Last thing before I go: If the series isn't for you but you still want to work with me, I also teach private hoop lessons and 1:1 performance biz mentoring. Hit me up if you want to talk about how I can help you reach your specific goals in hoop dance or turning your performance art into a business.

That's all from me for now! Have a great week & I hope to hoop with you soon!

xo, Natale
