Emma Willcock
Hoop Instructor 💜
“Hey everyone! My name is Emma if you don’t know me already!
I originally started pole at Benefit in 2018 & by 2019 I had signed up to hoop! Both which I equally love for different reasons! After only 4 months of doing hoop I entered my first hoop competition & placed 1st in my beginner catagory. I have since entered more competitions with my amazing instructor & doubles partner Vikki & look forward to entering more together
I am super excited to be joining the instructor team & share with you my love of combos & routines! They are my favourite thing to do as they are amazing for building grip strength & stamina as well as help refresh moves & transitions so expect more of that if you come to one of my beginner classes!
I can’t wait to see you all soon!”
