"I’m a hooper, so playing with a big stick is fun, challenging, and allows me to challenge my hoop practice in interesting ways. I come from a place of flow arts, and this is more fight-oriented (…)and so I’m feeling like a bit of a badass, which is awesome!"

Tyler Cotton

“I came into it with little to no experience with any staff work, and the whole experience has been amazing. Michelle offers such a great open environment to mess up, drop the staff, hit yourself in the face with it, pick it up and keep it going”

Chloe 

“Started off because I wanted to try something new, and I ended up taking all 18 classes. Michelle is amazing, she teaches everything step by step so that it's easy to understand and replicate. I was able to know things that I never thought I was able to do."

Erin Neil 

“I came in with no knowledge, and Michelle broke it down in really easy steps. It looks intimidating, but it really isn’t. And it's become this fun thing to do now (...) I can do it to feel empowered”

Mark

I went from Beginner to Intermediate, and I really feel like it's coming together, that I’m starting to link and piece the moves together. It’s a great workout. I feel like I sweat a lot..”

Kevin Li

“Michelle is able to breakdown all the basics fundamentals and the language so that I was able to put them all together and form my own combos”
