I have been to three of RoRo’s hoop classes now and I have to say they are brilliant.Obviously given the current... world situation the classes are online, via Zoom, and RoRo is skilled at delivering via this format. She has a way to describe tricks verbally and demonstrate them visually that makes them easy to understand and try yourself. Her video and voice are always clear. RoRo keeps the energy and pace going throughout the class, but also finds time to go around each of the class participants to see how they’re doing, and answer any questions. She is fun to be around and to learn from!What a silver lining to coronavirus lockdown! Living in London myself, I may never have attended one of RoRo’s classes otherwise. I’m glad she is online and I can learn new tricks from this great teacher 🙂read more

There's nothing not to love about Project Hoop. I've only started recently but I already feel right at home. RoRo is an... excellent teacher and explains everything in a way that's easy to understand and makes sure that she spends as much time with people as they need to get each move or trick working. Each hour long class flies by I'm enjoying myself so much. It's also a great workout.read more

I've always wanted to hoop and it took me ages to make the step through Ro's door due to anxiety. Even before I met... her, Ro was understanding and patient and got me there and I'm so glad she did!Her patience extends to her studio and beyond as she always encourages you to learn at your own pace and have fun while doing it.It's clear from her structured classes that she's a qualified and experienced teacher and I always come away from class with a few new moves under my belt or at least a good clear idea of what I need to practice cos as Ro always says "some moves are growers not show-ers"Thanks Ro. I haven't looked back sinceread more

I am one of the Directors of the Nottingham based events company Big Top & Tall Tales. We provide themed bars and... performers to events across the Midlands. Ro has worked with us at several events over the last two years and has proved to be a perfect addition to the team. She is professional, hardworking and enthusiastic. Ro works wonderfully well with the general public and has the confidence and ability to engage with both children and adults alike. Ro first worked for us at the Gloworm Festival last August and worked tirelessly to entertain the masses over the two day festival. This year Ro worked with us at Splendour Festival and helped to entertain some of the 20000 people that attended that event. We highly recommend Ro as she is great fun to work with, dedicated and professional not mention a fantastic hooper! We look forward to working with her again in the future.read more

The Urban Hooper performed at my mini festival night party and wowed the crowd. Despite her LED hoop losing a... connection at the start, she wasn't phased and carried on with a glitter hoop, lit up by our mobile phone torches (so she's certainly adaptable!). What a star, amazing speed, range of tricks and impressive skills. Highly recommended - you won't be disappointed!read more
