Hoop Dance Workout

Hoopdance is exercise, movement meditation, and an art form blending performance and fitness. Often called, "the new yoga", It is a fun and graceful way to unwind and relieve stress while getting a total body workout.

Hoopdance increases your spinal flexibility, energizes your libido, and provides a great cardiovascular workout. It also tones your abs, thighs, and arms. Hooping is an excellent weight loss tool: Dynamic, high-energy hoopdance burns calories like aerobics or running.

As a dance form, hoopdance is about self-expression and self-discovery. It can be sexy and feminine, it can be edgy and mysteriously evocative, and it is always inclusive. Hoopdance is liberating and non-judgemental, because there is simply no wrong way to hoop.
