What inspired you to start your business?I started the Hooping with Kids program because I wanted to help kids stay active and healthy while having fun. Using my dance background and hoop dance experience, the program I created is fitness disguised as fun for kids of all ages.
So far I’ve taught the program to kids at libraries, schools, camps, and private parties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey & Delaware.
What have been your favourite client experiences?
It’s tough to pick a favourite, there are so many good ones! I just love walking into a classroom and seeing kids’ faces light up, and hearing them scream with excitement about a hoop dance class.
What advice would you give to someone starting up in your industry?
Be patient, give back, and always focus on the positive.
What are your long term goals?
I recently launched a program to teach others how to implement the Hooping with Kids program into their existing activities. The program is online over at http://www.teachkidstohoop.com and has members from many different countries.
I would love to see the Hooping with Kids program be featured at schools and libraries all over the World. We’re fighting childhood obesity with fun.

Why Why do you think diversity matters to every generation?
Variety is the spice of life...sameness is kind of boring. As kids, it’s tough to stand out and be different, but as soon as I embraced my uniqueness as an adult I found success.
Maybe you’re not suited to work in a cubicle. So what. It doesn’t mean you’re a failure. It means you are different. Embrace it.
What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?
My favourite quote sums it up: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Albert
