*.Hoopla Hooping

ded hooping, free-play area or hoop-making workshops. Now also offering colorful, custom-made fitness/beginner hoops for sale. Hoop dancing/hooping is a fun creative outlet that is also a great low-impact workout! Far from the hula hooping of the '50s, yet the cousin of rhythmic-gymnastics hoop, modern hooping involves a variety of dancelike movements and tricks on and off the body done rhythmically to music or a beat. Part dance, part workout, part meditative activity, it builds focus, centeredness and self confidence, and serves as endless entertainment - there's always more to learn about how to move with the hoop as well as tricks you can do with it, or just different muscle groups that can be targeted by hooping around various parts of your body. Since you can tailor your hooping to yourself, there is no necessary skill level or athletic ability to start and no limit to how young or old you can be to hoop. You can decide whether you use hooping as art, exercise or both!
