Ive been trying to find a room in the Crewe amp Nantwich area for a while as I already have students from the area travelling to Stoke for classes.Interest since I started marketing on Friday has been keen so far and Im really looking forward to welcoming many new Hoopers at the class on Thursday 2010-1-24T00:00:00Z http://www.hooperactive.com/page9.htm#46622 Its been a while since I updated the blog as there has been so much happening with me. This is only going to be a quick update tooAt the beginning of July I attended the first ever UK Hoop Gathering where Hoopers from all over the UK and Europe came together to hoop and play. It was truly an epic weekend and I cant wait for next yearThe hooping bug is slowly but surely catching on I tell everyone I meet about it and its working out well. I have been providing hoops to budding newcomers all over the country and had some interest at a local festival this weekend too.Next weekend sees HooperActive and Friends the Lovely Amanda and Pheoniks Fire at the Barefoot Festival in Leicestershire where we will be holding hooping workshops by day and in the evening providing a Fire Performance.One quick final note I am slightly changing the format of the classes so that the formal class is from 89 then from 9930 there will be time to practice and play and I will be providing informal tuition.Hop... 2009-8-9T00:00:00Z http://www.hooperactive.com/page9.htm#39651 Had a great class on Wednesday 6 lovely hoopers came to play and learn.

When I first took on the class the kids attended intermittently and I had some real trouble makers pass through. I carried on with the class to get more experience teaching Exercise to Music which is what I originally trained to do and to make a bit of cash which in turn paid for my dance classes.I had a group for some of 2007 who I got on okay with they were the first group who talked to me other than by way of a grunted Hi on entering and Bye on leaving. They were noisy and hard work but I enjoyed teaching them for a time. They didnt return to the class after Christmas 2007 and in January 2008 I was greeted with an entirely new set of faces I was quite daunted by this as I didnt know them they didnt know me and anyone who has taught teenagers anything will know they ca... 2009-3-23T00:00:00Z http://www.hooperactive.com/page9.htm#38047 Hooray Ive got a room sorted for All New HooperActive classes I will be teaching the Hoopgirl Workout Beginner Series on Wednesday nights 8930pm at St Peters High School Penkhull.

Am busy at a ridiculous hour of the night and with a bad case of the munchies getting the website in some semblance of order for publication tomorrow night all being well.Have to finalise a few details with the room for classes and the dance teacher who Im sharing the space with before I can go live so all should be live by the time you read this.Thanks for readingJodiex 2009-1-8T00:00:00Z
