Hoopnotica is a
fat-burning cardio and muscle-shaping hoop
dance workout that uses an adult-size hoop to blend hooping with dance elements. Being easy to learn,
hoop dancing reduces stress and boosts one’s mood as it quiets the mind and even generates joy and laughter, and opens up chances for creative self-expression in the process. As a new way to lose weight and build strength, it also takes you to your childhood’s carefree days when you had fun with your hula hoop. You can now relive that fun by toning your body and losing weight through hoop dancing. You can perform this dance workout in almost any room, backyard, and park or even on the beach. With the use of travel hoops, you can continue to exercise in any appropriate space while you are away from home.
Some forms of hoops can be used for your
hoopnotica, such as the hula hoops, wave hoops, and collapsible hoops. The hula hoop is slight smaller and lighter than the hoop dancing hoops, while the wave hoop is water-filled toy hoop for children. The collapsible hoop is made for travel in tape or coiled forms, with the segmented parts held together by a bungee cord or a cord with elastic strands, which can be easily adapted to the size of the user. Hoopnotica hoops are prettier than the hula hoops and are designed for
hoop dancing workouts. Being slightly heavier, their weight helps you maintain your movement and builds muscle tone, and helps beginners and non-beginners alike to keep their momentum for good cardiovascular exercise.
Many people turn to hoop dancing for a variety of benefits. Recognizing these benefits, a Hoopnotica NYC Meet Up has been created in New York apparently to jumpstart New York City’s hoop dance community and enables all hoopers in the state to connect to each other. The hoop dancers get together to hold hoop fests, special community events and classes that provide workout benefits for both the experienced and beginner hoopers. For physical benefits, hooping tones the muscles of the entire body and burns 400 to 600 calories an hour of the hoop dance workout. It also defines one’s waistline, increases energy and flexibility and develops coordination and balance. For emotional or mental benefits, hoop dancing calms down the mind, reduces stress, and improves one’s mood and self-confidence.
You can do hoop dancing in a variety of basic moves, including the waist hooping, hip hooping, chest hooping,
neck hooping and
shoulder hooping, among many other moves. All of these are begun usually with a meditative warm up for any session or class. You may choose to join a group class, a private session, or a drop-in class but be sure you have every reason to join your type of session. A
hoopnotica group class may be good if you are looking for a group activity that will provide you with total body workout and keep you motivated to achieve a healthy lifestyle. If you are a beginner, or an intermediate-level hoop dancer who wants a personalized instruction in a place convenient to you, a private session is your choice. You can also join a drop-in class with which you can share your love of hoop dancing with an energetic and fun-loving
hoop dancer’s group.
