When you jump through hoops, you do everything that the other person wants you to. In other words, you bend over backwards to please the individual.
Example: I don’t get along with Radha. She wants all her friends to jump through hoops for her. Something that I am not willing to do.
You can also say, `jump through a hoop’.
Example: I am not willing to jump through a hoop for you.
