It's official- World Hoop Day is coming to Orlando!

What in the world is World Hoop Day and what is HoopDance, you ask?

Hoopdance is all about fitness and fun! It’s a truly unique dance form that is spreading like wildfire across the US and beyond. It helps develop self confidence, core strength, and is an excellent and fun way to get and stay in shape! Fun is the main motivator for this fitness form- as hoops are usually thought of as “child’s play,” hoopdance uses sturdier, weighted, adult sized hoops with grip tape that help the hoops stay up on the body. The movements are much more controlled and therefore help to develop great core strength and endurance. And most of all- anyone- any age- can learn to hoop!

The mission of World Hoop Day is to promote a healthy, fun, and active lifestyle for children and adults around the world and increasing the awareness of hoopdance as a part dance, part aerobic exercise activity that anyone of any age and any walk of life can learn!

There is also a charity aspect to World Hoop Day. Funds raised from donations at the event go towards creating durable hoops for underprivileged children worldwide. Many charity organizations focus on raising money for life’s basic needs for these children, such as food, medicine, shelter.. etc. But play is a central part of a child’s healthy emotional and physical development- and hoops donated to these children through the efforts of World Hoop Day help to bring hours of enjoyment, a way to develop hand and eye coordination, and most importantly, help the children develop self confidence and social skills needed to live a healthy, active life- from childhood to adulthood!

So please join us for the World Hoop Day celebration at the YOU Health Center next Friday- 8-8-08 from 7-9:30 pm!

511 Virginia Ave, Orlando, Fl.

Enter to win a professional hoop! Proceeds will go towards the world hoop day fund- and donations will be collected throughout the evening.
