Flow Arts

About this event

It's a hoop... It's a staff... It's Flow Arts! Our resident flow artist, Samantha, is bringing a class to Paulette's that's all about finding your flow. The main focus will be hoop, but you'll also get to learn the basics of flow props such as fans, poi, Staff, baton, Dragonstaff, and Levi-Wand. Don't have your own prop? That is okay! We will have some for you to borrow. This class is sure to be an immersive adventure into the diverse and captivating world of flow! You can expect to walk away with knowledge of the history of each prop, the physics of prop manipulation, a newfound confidence in your movement, injury prevention in flow arts, and at-home workouts to improve your skills. What to Bring: Please wear form-fitted, stretchy material for this Flow Arts class, as we will be moving much more than just our props! Wearing all black is even better for showing clear body lines and refining movement technique, but not required. Hair is best if pulled back out of your face or tied back if longer. This is a suggestion, not a requirement, but be cautious that hair can easily be caught in props, especially when first beginning. NO JEWELRY: Dangling earrings, bracelets, anklets, rings, and necklaces will be asked to be removed if worn to class for your safety. Studs, nose piercings, belly button rings, and all other piercings with a low likelihood of snagging are A-Ok! Please bring water to stay hydrated during class. Samantha has the ability to adapt and modify her coursework safely, depending on your physical limitations, and has done so with the following categories of students: Toddlers/ Children Geriatric Injury Recovery/ Bouncing Back/ Limited Mobility *Please let Samantha or the studio know if have any previous injuries or limited range of motion.
