THE HOOP TEACHER JOURNEY - TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM

Hoop Teacher Journey 23

MAY 1 + 2, 2010

PROGRAM
Throughout this two-day teacher training course you will learn the fundamentals of Hoop Empire's Hybrid Hooping Instructional Program. The key elements of this course include hooping for fun, fitness, dance, creativity and therapeutic purposes. You will learn to teach a combination of both circus hula and contemporary hoop dance as well as discover your own individual style that will shape your own classes. The course will include daily warmup and hoop practice, designing course content, practical teaching exercises, troubleshooting, problem solving, discussion and question time.

The types of classes that you will learn to teach are:
1. Beginner’s Workshop
2. Beginner’s Course
3. Intermediate Intensive
4. Intermediate Hybrid Hooping Course

You will learn how to navigate your way through teaching absolute beginners through to intermediate hoopers, depending on your own skill level. You will also learn a few of the added extras involved in teaching hoops such as:
• The types of hoops to teach with and to sell
• How to incorporate instruction into performance (i.e interactive entertainment) + vice versa
• Differences in teaching children + adults
• Teaching people with learning difficulties
• Requirements you will need to teach such as insurance, equipment and space
• Costing classes, performances + manufacture of hoops

IDEAL TRAINING FOR:
* Experienced hoopers wanting to share hoop joy!
* Newbie hoopers who are competent and confident in teaching other beginners
* Fitness professionals looking to diversify their training repertoire
* School teachers wanting to add fun and exercise to their curriculum
* Those looking for a fun and exciting career change

PHILOSOPHY
You've probably noticed how hooping, and the teaching of it, has started to spread on the international circuit, particularly in the United States. While we live in a market economy we are too often confronted with competition as a potential threat to our business. I prefer to see humans and in particular, the hooping kind, as a global community who can assist and inspire each other with the intuitive understanding that the more you give, the more you will receive – it’s universal law. So what we are left with is how to create complementary businesses and business practices with confidence, integrity and respect for our own individual natures as teachers and lovers of the hoop. Discover your own personal style and strengths and translate this into your classes. Learn the foundations then teach and develop what you love!

I welcome and congratulate you on taking this exciting step. It will change your life and probably already has. As a teacher you have chosen to pass on your skill and talents to those who need or want it. As a hooper you are sharing your passion for a practice that is all about fun, joy, health and creativity. You are helping to create a different currency in this world – that of happiness or should I say hoopiness.
