Hoop Workshops, University Exams & Alice in Wonderland

It has been far too long since I have written anything on here! Not enough hours in the day!
 
So at Christmas I returned to Germany to teach another hoop workshop in Hamburg, it was really lovely to go back and teach there, and great to catch up with Uta, Aleks and Criz :)
 
After this I travelled to Bielefeld, to visit Stephan and Anne, friends I met at the European Juggling Convention in Munich during the summer. While I was there we visited the castle and with a little help from Anne (filming), I made a video with my new LED Hula Hoops. I used vouchers I won from a video tutorial contest I entered on poiandfriends.com to get the hoops and you can view the video tutorial I made to win the contest here and the LED hoop video I made when I was in Bielefeld below...

Shortly after I got back to England I had exams at university, so busy with revision! Then promoting our circus skills society (Circus Hallam) at the Refreshers Fair and Get Active Week. My hoop class at Sport Hallam (Hallam University Gym) is back on Thursday evenings 5.30pm - 6.30pm, if you wish to book call Sport Hallam on 0114 225 2449.
 
 
On Saturday 11th February I taught an intensive hula hoop workshop at Greentop Circus in Sheffield, this completely sold out, and I am told there were a fair few people on the waiting list, so I think Greentop will be hosting another workshop soon!
 
After the workshop, I headed straight to Birmingham for the Ballring Circus Convention where I performed my new Alice in Wonderland Hula Hoop Act, I shall also be performing this at the next Greentop Circus Cabaret in March. There are some photos of my hoop act below (Paul Silver Photography)...
