Hoop Revolution

Hoop Revolution is passionate about facilitating transformation in people’s lives through the practice of Hoop Dance. That being said, we believe that transformation doesn’t have to be so serious! We aspire to bring the element of play back into the lives of adults everywhere. After all, we believe “you don’t stop playing because you get old, you get old because you stop playing.” For over a decade, we’ve been empowering people to actualize strong bodies, clear minds, joyful hearts and playful spirits through our innovative and highly effective Hoop Dance curriculum.

We continue to revolutionize the industry of Hoop Dance through eco friendly product development and eco-conscious business practices. Hoop Revolution is excited to be on the leading edge of a new era of co-operative business – with a business structure that benefits our employees, partners and contributors more equally, while sharing our abundance with those in need in our communities. We are excited to offer products, trainings and services that continue to make a cultural contribution and reflect our enthusiasm for innovation, self-expression, vitality and fun!
