If you've thought about trying hooping, this is the place. Even as a beginner, I felt great about hooping from the moment class started, thanks to a wonderful instructor who explained everything clearly, brought fun music, and gave me the confidence to keep trying until I'd get it. The classes never feel intimidating, and instead leave everyone smiling, dancing, feeling beautiful, and celebrating the discovery of the hoop.

Say I buy a series of classes with set dates and times but can't use them all...can I use them with your future classes?
Sure thing. We understand that life happens, just give us 7 days notice and RSVP for the desired class no later than noon 7 days before the desired class. Balances may be carried over for a class of equal dollar value, of any level, in this timely fashion. Classes are transferable with this agreement.

Just give notice by noon 7 days prior to class. Otherwise, the paid class expires on the advertised date.
I've missed a class. Can I make it up?
Yes, with a timely arrangement (see "How do I reschedule a class?"). At this time circumstances keep us from processing exchanges or refunds when a class is missed without a timely arrangement. Once a spot is reserved it goes off the market. When we rent a studio it is secured for an agreed date and time, and this is made possible by registered students. Thank you for your cooperation and kind understanding.
My yoga and other dance classes are about $15 per hour. Why are hoop class rates higher?
Hoop class prices are subject to the depth of information provided, maximum capacity allowed with apparatus, venue and fees. Unlike the average dance and yoga class, hoopdance classes require more space per person which makes classes more intimate and you receive generous one-on-one time to facilitate your acceleration in all classes. From time to time we'll offer specials or an economic rate and/or sliding scale when guided. We do our best to support you on your path of abundance with Love and Integrity by offering a fair exchange for a deeply wonderful community activity that is truly priceless. We do our best to create opportunities for all to participate in an environment that is non-competitive with other practices. At Hoopadelic Hoopdance we provide more than meets the eye.
Kundalini, in essences, is your creative life force energy. It is powerfully activated from both your crown and downward and at the base of your spine shooting upward; and when this energy is activated it heightens your senses and accelerates your creative and self-enlightenment process.
I've completed one or more level of classes, but would like a refresher course.
Taking a refresher course, or any course for the first time, is always a community oriented experience and is more like a party than a class, as you may know. So continuing to awaken through hooping is a great way to maintain a weekly health promoting activity in your lifestyle which we highly encourage! You may also wish to participate in our Hoopgasm class, which is structured for this purpose.
I know the moves but can't remember the names.
Not a problem. If you would like the names to any moves you have learned in Hoopadelic classes simply email us at info@hoopadelic.com or visit our contact page. As a note, we would like to remind you that remembering the name of moves isn't as important as feeling great doing the moves. When identifying them to others it is practical to share a common lingo but it is not crucial to stick to any given names.
I'd like to use your hoop names.
Not a problem (see above)! If you would like a list of names for moves you have learned in Hoopadelic playshops simply email us at info@hoopadelic.com or visit our contact page. As a note, we would like to remind you that though our terms have become household names these identifying labels aren't as important as feeling great doing the move(s); and Hoopadelic terminology is free for all to use. More importantly, we encourage you to be creative and come up with your own hoop identities should this resonate more with you and your style of hooping!
This is my first time buying a hoop. Which size and/or style is best?
Depending on your goal, typically your custom hoop size would depend on your height, body size and hoop goal. We are always glad to guide you to the hoops suited for your needs. We custom make adult and children hoops in various weights, sizes and colors. Adult-Small and Children hoops are 37" or less in exterior diameter and are ideal for young children, adult speed hooping and trickier moves for the average adult body size. Regular-Adult hoops are typically 40" and come in a range of 38-42" - these are meant for the typical teen through adult body structure. Extra large adult hoops are 42" or greater and are meant for slower hooping and/or learning new core body moves, for any use requiring larger than average sized hoops, such as partner hooping or larger body types, and for larger body types, to name a few. We offer three hoop weights, standard, light and extra light with a weight difference of about 6 oz. between each material.
Each artisan hoop is lovingly handmade in a smoke free and clean environment. We make all our hoops to order so you are sure to receive one that is meant just for You.
They all look gorgeous -- I can't decide on a style!
Feel free to contact us with your questions via email or phone. One of our style savvy representatives would be more than happy to guide you to a very lovely hoop meant just for the recipient.

Hoopdance is a form of dance fitness that Hoopadelic roots into the healing arts. It's a type of movement meditation that anyone can do, no dance background needed, and because of it's meditative effect it is something we like to call hoop trance dance. We use a hoop apparatus, which we hand make, and various flow techniques to incorporate moves, some trick heavier than others, into a freestyle danceform that allows the hooper to connect with their whole self - body mind spirit - and transcend through hoopdance.
