Gig workshop this weekend, new class session, & more ๐Ÿ’Œ


Hey Reader,

Natale here with some quick February updates for you :) I've got an online workshop tomorrow, a new session of classes, and a few watch/listen recs.

First up โ€“ Gigging 101! The last workshop went so well that I decided to offer it again this weekend. Details below ๐Ÿ‘‡

Gigging 101: How to Get & Stay Booked

Saturday, Feb 10th | 12-2pm PST

Want to enter the world of paid performance, but not sure where to start? Already gigging but feeling like it's time to level up? In this 2-hour workshop I'll be sharing a ton of practical, easy to implement info on the basics of attracting opportunities, booking gigs, impressing your clients, and getting called back for the next one.

Can't make it live? No prob - the recording will be provided to all attendees.

$60* | Online

*BIPOC and folks from historically excluded identities are invited to use code MOREGIGS for a 50% discount at checkout.

I was thrilled to hear how helpful this workshop was to the folks who took it last time! Check out some of their feedback:

If you're interested but not sure if this class is for you, reply to this email or DM me on Instagram and I'll answer any questions you have.

New class session at just announced!

๐Ÿ“ All classes are held at Cabaret Atelier Studio (1411 Cornwall) in Bellingham, WA.

Hoop Foundations & Double Hoops are meant to be multi-level classes, good for folks who are just beginning and those looking to level up existing skills. Each class will build on previous skills & introduce new content, so feel free to join us for a single class drop-in if you can't make the session.

Hoop Choreo is a 90-minute class available only as a session, as we'll be building a choreography over the course of 6-weeks that we'll perform at the end. This session will include a pro video shoot in the price!

If you're interested in doing 2 or more classes, hit me up for a bundle deal!

"I signed up at the last moment for beginner hoop choreo with Natale, and Iโ€™m so glad I did. I learned new skills in a fun and welcoming environment and tapped into the performer in me that had been dormant for a long time! I signed up for another class with Natale and would recommend it to anyone looking for something fun, unique, and inclusive.

PS: If you want to work with me 1:1, you can always book a private hoop lesson or performance biz mentoring.

Lastly, some inspo as of late:

๐ŸŽฅ I've been gushing over this video of one of my favorite hoopers executing an epic choreo combo with precise musicality & dripping in commanding stage presence

โœ‚๏ธ This costume upcycle hack has me questioning why I ever removed the zippers before

๐ŸŽง Infinity Song has been on repeat for me lately. A little bit folk, a little gospel, a little hiphop. Faves are Metamorphosis, Mad Love, & the Dreams cover.

That's all for now! Thanks for being here.
