Oh my Gosh!  A new year and things have been so busy...  After spending the last year hooping everywhere I could think of and building up my teaching venues, I started this year thinking - "I'm not as interested in the weekly class comittment - I just want to do parties/private classes, festivals and make awesome hoops!"  As soon as I thought these words, I met two wonderful gals (Dawn from Homegrown hoops/Firehouse Yoga and Jen from Kees Camp) who are each interested in teaching and are pursuing hoop in different ways.  Life is fantastic with these two amazing women out there spreading the hoop love.  I totally enjoy taking more of a backseat role which enables me to focus on creating hoops, promoting hooping in general and hooping!!!  I will continue to post venues where I can be found and other information concerning hooping in the area.  I also am finishing out my contract with West Des Moines adult education Starting in March - so if you're interested, sign up! 
Hoop happy,
Mary
