I taught my first hoop class today! So fun! I felt like I was doing what I was 'born to do'. Two ladies at the beginning came in apprehensive, asking if they could take one class before committing to the series, and I said sure. About halfway through, one of the ladies squealed, "I'm having so much fun!" And by then end, they both signed up for the series.
I've adjusted the "HoopGirl Workout" format to fit my classes needs, and my favorite addition is 10 minutes of Cosmic Hooping at the end. Instead of the stage fright inducing Hoop Jam format, I lower the lights, turn on the Disco Ball, crank the music, and let people just dance in their own space. It gives us all the freedom to play with the ideas and skills we have already without the pressure of performance anxiety. Instead of omitting the Hoop Jam altogether, I think I will have the ladies work up to it for the very last class. Either way, I've found my groove teaching, and my students are definitely finding theirs! It's great!
