They may wear comfortable clothes and swing hoops around their hips, but that's where the similarities between the P.E. class of your youth and hoopdancing class at Studio NiaMoves end.
 

BEGINNER HOOP DANCE

Get a new spin on life and fitness with hoopdancing! This upbeat, aerobic workout blends the invigoration of cardio with a mind-body connection while improving balance, flexibility and core strength. We will hoop at the waist, hips and off the body while moving and dancing with the hoop.

No prior hula hooping experience needed. Just come ready to have fun!!  More info about hooping at Hoopnotica.

Studio hoops will be provided for use during class, or bring your own hoopdance hoop (this is not the same as your child's plastic hoop). Hoops are also available for purchase.

Class size is limited. Pre-register to guarantee your spot!

Unused classes do not roll over; no make-ups. The NiaMoves two week free pass does not apply to these series.

Class: Beginner HoopDance

Teacher: Rowan TwoSisters

HOOP FITNESS FACTS

Spinning the hoop around your waist works your core, hips thighs, gluts, and abs.  When you add upper body moves, you are getting a complete resistance training and cardio workout for the entire body

As for calorie burning, the results are off the charts. According to researcher conducted at The Cooper Institute in the Dallas, Texas, who tested the Hoop Workout, the hoop dance exercise burned twice as many calories as riding a bike at 19 miles per hour or running.

Physical therapists are using the Hula Hoop as a rehabilitation device to treat individuals recovering from injury, stroke, and arthritis.
