"We had a fabulous party for a friend's 50th birthday! Wonderful people, excellent food, and great music. But the highlight had to be the exotic entertainment performed by Valentina. Her unique style and vivacious personality captured everyone's attention, and all eyes shifted toward her the moment she began to dance. The guests were mesmerized by Valentina's expert dance moves and confident stage presence. She was able to get the bashful birthday boy out on the floor for a dance, along with several others, as the rest of us cheered them on. Not only was the belly dancing and burlesque set brilliant, the fire hoop dance was extraordinary, and thrilling to watch. Everyone was talking about this party and the amazing entertainment at work on Monday morning, and they're still raving about it 2 weeks later! Thanks, Valentina, for a truly memorable time!"

"You know you always wanted to join the circus...After a few classes, you will never want to put your hoop away. Clear the living room floor, put on some Bravo TV, and get ready to hoop. Don't forget to move your boozy drink (you don't want to spill). Unity is an awesome teacher. In less than 6 months I'm tossing my hoop and shaking my hips.
She's very patient and I've seen her teach the most uncoordinated folks how to do it. She also makes fantastic hoops. For those more experienced hoopers, her travel hoop is FANTASTIC.
Perfect for the circus freak in all of us."

"Be prepared to have a lot of fun and feel great. Hooping is something ANYone can do...yep even if you're as uncoordinated as me, it doesn't take long to learn some cool tricks and look graceful doing them. And did I mention it's a FUN way to burn colories?! Even if you've never hooped before, there are hoops to borrow or to buy in class.  I definitely recommend taking Hoop Dance with Unity!"

"This is an awesome class for beginners or intermediate hoopers!  Valentina a.k.a Unity, has a fun, loving and encouraging teaching style.  I especially appreciate the ways she breaks it down trick by trick.  Things that I try to learn on my own and just can't seem to master- she has taken the time to really figure out and break down each move to pass along to her students.  Unity also studies and teaches bellydance, burlesque and fire dance so she can help you to incorporate other dance styles into your hooping for something truly unique!  There are plenty of beautiful hand-made hoops for you to use during class and purchase once your hooked!!!!!"

"super fun! i always learn something really cool with a hoop when I take her class. She also makes really good sturdy yet beautiful hoops I have had 2 hoops made by her and they are both great."

-Heather B.

"Are you ready to see your waistline return? Have fun, feel goofy, feel glamourous, and most of all, burn, baby burn. You will find after your very first hoop class that your stomach muscles have sat up and taken notice. Valentina is a patient, encouraging and engaging teacher, and I have enjoyed every minute of class. A thorough warmup gets your body in the groove, and then be prepared to move!"
