Narrative:

My student and I took off from gtr. After the student had completed his VOR navigation training for the day; it was now time to work on some basic private pilot maneuvers. We began doing slow flight; stalls; and steep turns. We completed clearing turns before all of the maneuvers; but not before each new maneuver. On a heading of 360 degrees at 6500 ft MSL; I began a turning stall to the left. This was the first time demonstrating this maneuver to my student. During most of the maneuver my head was inside the cockpit focusing on keeping the plane in a standard rate turn to the left for the stall demonstration. On a heading of about 280 degrees was when my student loudly called out the traffic. Before I even had time to take evasive action; the cirrus traffic had already taken evasive action in a 60 degree bank to their right. The cirrus traffic must have passed us from our 2 O'clock position to our 11 O'clock position. With the nose pitched up in the left turning stall demonstration; we never saw them until it was too late.
