MHDR 2021 Instructor Applications Coming Soon

Click here to see the 2020 workshop and instructor lineup.

One of the main goals of MHDR is to help hoopers sink deeper into their hoops, and gain a fuller more in-depth understanding of their prop, not just a handful of new flashy tricks. At MHDR each attendee is looking for personal feedback. That’s why we’re looking for hoop dance teachers with top notch instructing skill that allows them to teach multiple skill levels and personalities at one time.

MHDR instructors are passionate about hooping. They are leaders in the flow arts community who offer a unique perspective on hoop dance. They don’t necessarily have the most experience, or the longest tenure hooping, but they work super hard every day to be better than yesterday.

Does this sound like you? Keep reading to find out more about instructing at MHDR2021.
