True story: I was in my late 30s before I knew that yellow school buses were the norm in the US and not a Simpsons thing :)

I was sooooo excited when the airport shuttle for was a yellow school bus. I even got on for a bit. I don't know where that photo went! Anyone know! The bus driver thought I was insane :P He'd probably never had an overexcited blue haired brit taking loads of photos next to his bus 🤣🤣

Just another of the amazing moments

FYI: I went to school everyday on a red double decker bus which is 100% normal for us :P

I'm looking forward to returning to New Mexico and this August! ONE TICKET LEFT!!!

I hope to see you there :)

Emma Kenna :

I hope this helps :)

I have been teaching people to hula hoop for 17 years and I have been a full time hoop teacher for 14 years.

I have built up an award winning community through regular local classes, toured the world and regularly teach at hoop conventions internationally.  I have also hosted international teachers and run multiple hoop events.

So I have a lot to share :)

That's why I call my Teacher Training Program 'Advanced'.  You do not need to be an Advanced Hooper or an Advanced teacher to get what you need from the program.

It covers everything from how to teach basic hoop tricks, how to identify and work with your own strengths and weaknesses to become the best teacher you can be, how to teach multi level classes and build a community as well as how to best apply to teach at hoop conventions!

Whatever stage you're at in your hoop teaching journey I would love to help :)

As well as an extensive video course, there is weekly zooms with me throughout the course, some taught sessions, some Q&A style sessions and some mentorship sessions where we discuss YOU and the next steps in your journey.  All recorded for you to keep and review forever :)

The course is completed by taking part in the practical hoop sessions which include one on one teaching practice, group teaching and the creation (with my help) of a workshop you teach to your peers :)

This can be done either all on zoom from anywhere in the world or you can attend the 5 day event at beautiful TADAH (see ).  

One graduate from the Zoom practical and one from TADAH will be chosen (by their peers) to get a teaching spot at SWhoop 2024 in Bristol, UK which includes a full SWhoop ticket + accommodation (see )

I have a few spaces left on both the zoom and TADAH for 2024.

Now is a great time to sign up as we are meeting for the first taught session of 2024 next Sunday.

Check www.att.hoopingmad.co.uk (link also in bio) for more information and/or DM me to arrange a call to work out if the program is right for you!

I'm looking forward to diving deep into the ins and outs of professional hoop teaching with the new group :)

Emma xx
Are you

25/01/2024

This week is a huge week for me and all plans for the posting of video demos of the course content got sidetracked by a miniature doggo and a mini-cold.

Me and tiny rescue dog are healthy now and that means my classes are good to go - made a start on the combos this morning - had a great class - thanks to those that came - I'm looking forward to the repeat of that class on Saturday for the Euro/UK hoopers :)

My first (of 2) W1 twins classes is in about 9hrs (repeated on Saturday).

You're going to have to trust me that the content is loads of fun. I'll teach it well and hopefully give you some laughs along the way :)

I already have a great group for each class but if they sound right for you - get involved!!

There's also payment plan options.

If you're unsure about online classes in general, my teaching or the level of the class please do sign up and come. If after the first class you decide it's not for you I'll give you your money back. You might as well give it a go :)

Happiness injection via learning and circles from the comfort of your own home.

All classes are recorded and turned into well edited video classes that you can access forever.

I'm really good at the teaching of the classes but I am terrible at advertising what I am teaching in good time before the courses start. You kinda have to trust me :P

You can look at prev courses on my learning site to see the sort of things I teach. It's all different every course.

So sorry for the essay here and only text description of content. Trust me. You'll have fun.

Oh and Cyber SWhoop is on Sunday!!! Seriously amazing line up.

Why did past-Emma schedule everything to start on the same week???? We shall never know. One day i'll get an ADHD business coach and work on my time management but for now all the info is in my bio and it's a busy busy week for Emma!

If you want to learn lots and have some laughs then you should come because I'm supposedly quite good at hoop teaching :P
