Fearless Beginner Hoop Dance

WHAT: This is a six-week core-hooping class for absolute beginners. We’ll be focusing on manipulating the hoop on your body – waist, chest, shoulders, legs. You do not need to know how to hoop AT ALL to take this class - you will learn!

If you already know how to hoop but you aren't much of an on-body hooper, this class will help you shore up those skills and gain a ton of control and confidence.

WHEN: Signing up grants you immediate access to the full class, and it will be available FOREVER or until the internet implodes.

HOW MUCH: This class is Pay What You Can. I don't want great hoop instruction to be inaccessible. You can take the class 100% for free, or you can pay more if you can afford it and you find it helpful.

NEEDED FOR CLASS: A large hoop for core hooping, at least ten square feet of space.

COURSE OVERVIEW

WEEK 1: BASICS OF WAIST HOOPING

I’ll introduce how to waist hoop FROM THE GROUND UP. If you’ve never been able to keep a hoop up before, you’ll learn it in this class.

You'll learn:

-The 3 key components you need to get your hoop going and keep it moving around the waist.

-Why some people struggle to keep their hoop moving, where they’re going wrong, and how to fix it.

WEEK 2: WAIST CONTROL

We’ll take what we learned last week and solidify it, learning how to focus in on your entire core to control the hoop.

You'll learn:

-How to be aware of the hoop’s timing, laying down the groundwork for everything else you’ll ever do in your hoop.

-How to reverse your hoop and the value of hooping in both directions.

WEEK 3: LIFTS

We’ll look at two different ways to lift the hoop off your body.

You'll learn:

-How to combine lifts and drops into the classic vortex move, step-by-step.

-What to do with your hoop once you’ve got it in the air.

WEEK 4: CHEST HOOPING

We’ll talk about why chest hooping seems impossible, and what to do about it.

You'll learn:

-How to take what you’ve learned on the waist and apply it to hooping at the chest.

-The difference between “chest hooping” and “breaks and paddles”, and how one can help you learn the other.

WEEK 5: ANGLES

We’ll take a close, detailed look at two ways to angle hoop at the waist – “Earth Angle” (facing down) and “Sky Angle” (facing up).

You'll learn:

-One is easier than the other, why that’s okay, and how to work on the trickier one.

-How to transition between “Earth” and “Sky” and back again!

WEEK 6: LEG HOOPING & FLOW

You’ll learn the basics of leg hooping and how to gain as much control at your legs as you now have on your waist.

We’ll go over everything from the past 5 weeks and learn how to put it all together to build your personal flow.

You’ll have a new-found confidence with hooping. Congratulations, you’re now FEARLESS.

WHAT NICE PEOPLE HAVE SAID

"I loved taking online hooping classes with Jess. I was in the comfort of my own home without feeling embarrassed that people were watching me as I struggled. So the only stress I had was trying to learn. Later on if I wanted to work on something I didn’t quite grasp, it was there for me when I had the time to. Jess has taught me so much about hooping and I am grateful for it."

~Amy

"From my hours of poring over various YouTube hoop tutorials, Jess was already my favorite teacher, and I was so excited at the opportunity to learn from her in an actual "class" setting. Both Jess, and her online classes, get my enthusiastic thumbs up (and I am a picky, picky, lady ;])."

~Lizzie

"When I see Jess hoop, I think, "I wish I could hoop like that." When I see her teach I think, "I can do that!" She has such a playful and comfortable way of teaching and she’s great at breaking the skills down into bite sized chunks. You never have to feel like a failure or feel bad in her classes, it’s all just fun and playful and before you know it you’re hooping like a badass."

~Michelle

"Jess is the single reason I stuck with hooping. Her chest hooping video helped me realize that ANYBODY can hoop and that learning isn’t always glamorous. She is relatable to so many women who think they don’t have the proper bodies for hooping. She is an inspiration."
