Hoop Connections Celebrates 1 Year of Spinning!
One year ago Erica Burroughs, Erica Keller and Lisa Ogilvy wanted to bring the love of the hoop to their hometown of St. Charles, MO. After weeks of searching for the perfect space and nailing out all the details, Hoop Connections was formed. The very first spin jam was March 13th 2012 and was a HUGE success! Hoopers, poi spinners, flow wands….spinners came out to support and it was an incredible night!
Over the last year, Hoop Connections has grown as a business, as a group and as individuals. With classes, workshops, performances and an international retreat all within the first year of business, year 1 will sure be hard to compete with! This coming year our goals are to focus on more hoop dance education, community involvement and building our youth cirriculums. We want to thank all of the amazing people we have had the pleasure to work with and events we were a part of.
