2024 classesHula Hooping Class and Spin Jam
Location: District 195 park Time: 6pm -7pm Cost: Free (Thanks to District 195 Park) Dates: May 22, June 5, June 19, July 10, July 24, Aug 7, Aug 14, Aug 21 Hula Hooping is for everyone! This class is geared towards those with little to no experience. Play is an important source of relaxation and stimulation for children and adults too! Have fun while learning how to hoop with me. “Hooping” is an evolving form of movement, fitness and meditation. We don’t just learn to waist hula hoop! We also explore off body hooping, moving within the space of the hoop and rhythm. Even if you couldn't hoop as a kid I promise you will have a better experience using larger "adult sized" hoops. We also use the hoop as a tool to strengthen and stretch the limbs and core while having fun! Instructor: Jessie Jewels No experience needed for class! I will have extra hoops to borrow. |
What is hooping?
Hooping is part of the greater spectrum of flow arts, which are playful movement arts involving skill toys that are used to evoke the exploration of dynamic, flowing, and sequential movements. This movement, and the related mind/body state, is referred to as "flow".
-Hooping is meditative
Spinning a hoop can calm your frenzied mind. You decide what you want your hooping experience to be depending on how fast or slow you’re hooping and what music you might be listening to.
-Hooping is community building
You can’t look at someone hooping and not smile! Once one person starts learning and having fun with a hoop, everyone wants in on the action. It’s a fun way to spend time with friends and family, there isn’t a huge learning curve, and you can do it anywhere! Bring a handful of hoops to the park and pretty soon, you have a party!
-Hooping is good for your physical health
Hooping can burn 400-600 calories per hour and you don’t even realize it because…it’s fun! Hooping will also strengthen your core, your arms, legs…your entire body!
-Hooping is for everyone!
Hooping is for all ages and body types. The bigger and the heavier the hoop is, the easier it is to keep it up!

What is a spin jam?
A spin jam is a space created for individuals to practice and explore their skills. It is also great to share skills with others and build community.
