I discovered hoopdancing on a whim when I was searching for something fun to do instead of aerobics. One day, at the store I came across hoops in the toy section, bought the largest one and was quickly frustrated to find I was unable to do it. I turned to the internet to find out how to hoop and came across the wonderful world of hoopdancing and adult-size hoops! I knew right then I had to have one. Upon receipt, I was hooked and have been hooping ever since.

The health benefits were quickly realized as weight began to melt off, my muscles were sore from hooping and my mind felt freer than it had in years. The benefits were quick and vast for me and I felt myself being enveloped in bliss whenever I was wrapped in a hoop. I truly believe in the rhythmic connection created with the hoop. It connects your body with your mind and your mind with Universe and the rhythms of the Earth.

As I told others about my experience and reconnection with my childhood bliss, they wanted to do it as well. My daughter quickly took up and excelled and my mother finally found something she also enjoyed, and let me tell you how difficult it was to get her to do anything involving activity! It quickly became a family affair! And then it spread to my aunt and other family members and I found I was unable to keep up with hoop orders!

I decided it was time to spread the joy in my local area, instruct classes and design custom hoops.

I design hoops with functionality, purpose and aesthetics in mind. Some are geared toward performance, others toward practice, endurance or spiritual connection. Depending on purpose, a hoop may be taped or covered with a fabric sleeve. Some are collapsible, others are made for interchangeable fabric sleeves.
