Fantastic Skype teacher!!
When I stumbled on Gail’s “HoopSpin, Italy July 2013” video, I was completely inspired to step up my hoop game! I thought, What better way to learn some new moves than straight from the source of my inspiration? Because I don’t live anywhere near Gail, we set up a private class though Skype. At first I couldn’t picture how my small laptop screen would be sufficient to see her, and how she would be able to see what I was doing enough to correct me. But I decided to give a Skype session a try anyway….and I have to say that I was blown away by how easy and great using Skype with Gail was! I was so impressed with Gail as a teacher. There is a big difference between being an amazing hooper and also being able to explain and break down what you are doing for others to learn. And Gail is a fantastic skype teacher! Before our session, I had sent her a list of some of her moves that I wanted to learn. She broke them down step by step, and had great phrasing for easily explaining how to get the hoop from point A to B. She was also quick to point out issues in my form, making it easy for me to know what to fix!
I would highly recommend taking a private class from Gail. Learning from other hoopers is a great way to spice up your flow, and Gail is one of the best hoopers and instructors out there. I will definitely be taking classes from her in the future!
