Beginner Hoop

Who can take this class?

This class is open to women of any size, shape, or fitness level who are over the age of 18. No previous experience is required! If you are male or under 18, contact us for class alternatives.

Do I need to take Intro to Aerial before this?

You can sign up for Beginner Hoop without taking an Intro class. Take that Intro class if you’re not sure what apparatus you want to take an hour class on.

What should I wear?

Leggings that are past your knees, a tank top and a light long sleeve top that is form fitting. It is important that all your clothing not have zippers, rhinestones, sequins, or anything sharp as this would damage the apparatus.

What will happen in the class?

Beginner Hoop class will start with a warm-up off the apparatus. Then you will do some apparatus conditioning. The first trick sequence will be a combinations of 3-6 moves that will be “reversed out” of or end the way it started. Then you’ll do trick specific conditioning on Hoop. The second trick sequence will include 4-9 moves that may end in a different move than it began and is more challenging than the first sequence. You’ll then stretch out off the apparatus. The hour class will FLY by!

How do I move to the next level?

When you attend your first Hoop class you will be given a card that has all the moves in the Beginner Hoop program listed. At every Beginner Hoop class or practice you attend you will write the date if a move was “introduced” or when you feel “proficient” in the move. “Proficient” means that you know what the move is and can execute it comfortably. Once 90% of your Beginner Hoop card is “proficient” you can ask the instructor to clear you for Intermediate Hoop!

How many people are in the class?

Maximum class size is 6; you will have your own hoop the entire class.
