Until you give it a spin, you’d never believe what an effective total body workout hoopdance provides. But the best part of all is how much fun you’ll have while burning calories, trimming your waistline, and toning your muscles! When was the last time you truly enjoyed exercising?

Hoopdance provides pregnant women and moms an opportunity to get a great cardio workout while strengthening and toning their entire body.

Because the workout is easily modified for each participant, hoopdance is safe and effective for everyone.  

Because hoopdance requires no jumping, it is ideal for those with bone, joint, and back problems.

Pregnant women and older women can greatly benefit from the core strengthening workout hoopdance provides, as well as the safe cardio and total-body-strengthening workout it offers.

Even those who have never been able to keep a hula hoop up, and claim they can’t dance to save their life, will be hooping and grooving in no time!

Get ready to have some fun! As soon as you try it, you will be hooked too!

Fitnotic’s hoopdance classes enable participants to make their workout as gentle or challenging as each student desires.

Group Classes

Drop-In Classes provide a fantastic workout for hoopers of all levels, including those who have never picked up a hula hoop before. Each class will vary and may include hooping on the waist, hips, thighs, chest, neck and shoulders, as well as hooping off the body and practicing various tricks.

Private Classes

Private sessions via Facetime/Zoom or in the NYC area are ideal for both beginners and more advanced hoopers who want personalized instruction at a time and place that is convenient for them.

Depending on your hooping experience and goals, we will make the best use of our time together to make sure you learn or perfect the skills most important to you, or just get you feeling comfortable with the hoop so you can start playing, having fun, and simultaneously giving yourself a killer workout!

Private Events

Fitnotic hoopdancers are available for private events such as corporate picnics, birthday parties (children and adults), and performances.

Pregnant women can check themselves for a diastasis the same way non-pregnant women can, although women who are 20 weeks pregnant or more should lay on an inclined surface rather than flat on their backs.  It may be hard to feel any separation in any or all of the three testing sites depending on how far along the woman is, and the position of the baby.  If a pregnant woman ever sees “coning,” or a vertical bulge running down her abdomen, this is a clear indication of diastasis recti, and a warning that too much strain is being placed on the abdominal wall.  Whatever position the woman is in, or whatever activity she is doing while seeing this coning, it needs to be modified so the bulging does not happen.
