"Our mission is to promote self-expression through the art of hoop dance. We believe that hooping affects a person’s spirit, health and well-being while simultaneously bringing happiness into the heart and soul."
Don't think you can hoola? Think again. The Hoola Monsters can teach you how to 'wow' family and friends with your super hooping skills. Our hand-made hoops are larger and heavier than those found in stores. As a result, they move slower and are more controllable. Not only does this provide a great workout, it's also fun and easy!
So, whether you're looking to spice up your fitness routine with a little creativity or you're in the market for some engaging hoop dancers for your next party, you've come to the right place. From custom-made hoops to classes, performances, costumes and more, the Hoola Monsters have got you covered.
And while you're here, don't forget to check out our online store. We've got some great deals on a variety of hoops, costumes and furry monster leg warmers!
Hooping is getting quite a bit of attention these days... from celebrity hoopers like Beyonce Knowles and Gweneth Paltrow to national recognition as one of the the hottest fitness sensations predicted for '08 and beyond.
While hoop dance is still considered a relatively new art form for many of us, there are some who have been singing its praise for quite some time. In fact, a full-length documentary has been in the works for more than three years, and it's scheduled to hit theatres in 2008. "The Hooping Life" portrays the evolution of the hula hoop and profiles a diverse mix of hoop dancers. Of those featured, hooper extraordinaire Christabel Zamor (a.k.a. HoopGirl) shines as a revolutionary of this exotic performance art. Click here for a sneak peak:
