Spin Matsuri is a celebration of movement and connection within Japan’s growing Hoop Dance and Spin communities. Dancers, instructors and free spirits from across the country and around the world will come together for three days to share, learn and create. Spin Matsuri is an inclusive event and welcomes all forms of expression through movement; from beginner hoop dancers to international spin stars!
Rise and shine in the stunning Japanese forest with yoga classes, spend the days absorbing new forms of dance and play with workshops from some of the world’s most vibrant instructors, then spin into the night with colors, costumes and creativity. Spin Matsuri promises to be a weekend to remember: swirling LED lights, fire play, ecstatic movement and positive connection.
Spin Matsuri 2009 will be held at Seimei no Mori Resort in Chiba, just 90 minutes from Tokyo. Surrounded by lush forest and grassy expanses, you’ll stay in cozy wooden cottages, fuel yourself with vegetarian-friendly buffet meals, and enjoy the athletic atmosphere of the Nihon Aerobics Center (NAC). The resort offers spa treatments and features a training gym, swimming pool, sauna, and other amenities for our use.
The first of its kind in Japan, Spin Matsuri is an international collaboration designed to allow hoopers, poi spinners, dancers, movers and shakers to participate in workshops, performances and activities with creative movement innovators from all over the world.
We invite you to come join us for a weekend of adventurous movement, jam packed fun and playful development.
