JEN replied to the discussion 'Looking for words of wisdom, support' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!JEN replied to the discussion 'starting hoop class programs' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!"sounds like an awesome space! for me, i think having a curriculum to follow is so important. it makes it really helpful to mainstream things so hoopers can learn uniformly, ie go to other classes, if they move, are out of town, whatever, and are on…"
JEN replied to the discussion 'series vs drop-in, package vs. subscription' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!"So I teach every single day of the week now (crazy!) and some days have 4 classes a day. And every place I teach has a different structure. I personally don't have any interest in a deeper business end of things. This has all grown organically…"
JEN replied to the discussion 'Shoes for hooping?'"I have had mine (no strap) for over a year, and love them. I teach up to 4 classes a day in them sometimes, and have never had them fall off, not while doing jump thru's, step-hooping, etc."
JEN replied to the discussion 'Need games/exercises for Hoop Fitness Class' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!"Here's some videos i made for visuals. Sorry they are kinda lame LOL I have my Hoop Face on, HA, and loud basketballs in the gym (and my 6yr old videotaping LMAO) but you can get an idea

JEN replied to the discussion 'Getting Certified in Fitness along with Hoop?!??' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!"@Kim, that's how my classes are too!

JEN replied to the discussion 'Getting Certified in Fitness along with Hoop?!??' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!"I got certified through Hoopnotica first. I had NO fitness background/teaching/anything. I was almost 300lbs when I started hooping (but down to 200 when I started teaching, now down to 150!!)
Anyway, I think personally I would have benefited…"
JEN replied to the discussion 'hooping for exercise'"Hehe, that would be me :) I just started hooping 15m a day, that's it. Eventually more, but it honestly took me a solid 2 weeks to keep it up even a few rotations. I am pretty sure I'm officially the Very Worst Hooper ;) I started weight…"
JEN replied to the discussion 'shipping hoops'"it costs me $5-7 to ship my hoops (with d/c!) priority with USPS, for over a year now. depends where they are going (i'm east coast, so going all the way to west coast costs about $7, closer to me is $5 etc)"

- hey jen! this is diane, creator of rochester hoops. please read my personal comments to you on the group page! take those to heart, not klafka!
please don't let one rude thign on the internet spoil you opinion of us before you even hoop with us! i hope you do someday. the group is very large, hoopers and live drummers, it;s a positive and joyful experience. please don't judge us on klafka!
i was thinking i should report klafka to an admin. hoop city is about building the positive community you and i have in mind, not that. what do you think?
