Hooping

For those mesmerized by the movement and expressiveness of dance and hula hooping, Hoop the Flow may be an attractive option. Waist-whittling and arm-toning are only two of the myriad benefits to be reaped from this sensual art. There is a reason children find hooping fun, and these classes take it to the next level. Hoop the Flow classes are more about expression and embracing the body and movement than perfecting a rigid set of moves. Classes and workshops are available for various skill levels and the instructor, Stefana, also does private sessions.
