Greetings hoopers and hoopers to be! I hoop that you will join me for a HoopDance intensive. Whatever your level I have a class for you! Hoop Dance is the newest incarnation of an ancient art. The “hula” hoop of the 50’s was just a small hiccup in the long life of the hoop and by far the cheesiest! Thankfully, dance and arts communities across the globe have taken this beautiful dance form back from the hands of mediocrity and given it new life. Come and experience the magic of Hoop Dance for your self with one of Hoop Revolution’s action packed series’! You’ll find it’s easy with our custom created hoops for adults. These hoops almost swing with a power of their own, giving you the freedom to move, dance and express your heart out! Hoop Dance is great for the body, not to mention your social life! Most find themselves sleeker, elongated and more fluid after just one month of consistent hoop dancing. By adding Hoop Dance into your life you will also grow more confident and full of positive energy! A hoop over your shoulder makes a great conversation piece, don't be surprised if you find yourself the life of every party you go to! Come and unlock your potential! Let the fabulous inner you out to play! In these extraordinary tutorials on Hoop Dance you will not only increase awareness of your body but also your mind and spirit!
I believe the hoop has the power to transform and enrich the lives of people everywhere. In my classes I like to highlight the transformative aspects of hooping as well as the play, fitness and performance benefits. My approach is very detail oriented and gives people a solid foundation, focusing on strengthening the core and hooping from the inside out. I think to truly excel at anything you have to be willing to slow down, dig deep and really get into the nitty gritty core. All this to say that my approach pays much attention to detail, foundation and the cultivation of joy and flow! Come and benefit from the years of experience under my belt and my precise and straightforward teaching style!
Here is what one of my students had to say after spending some hoop time with me.
Anah, aka Hoopalicious, is hands down, the best teacher I've studied with. Her
ability to observe and then give you the exact correction you need to help facilitate your getting the move is uncanny! She is so insightful and gives you the full benefit of her decades plus of hoopdance experience. She is generous, appreciative and ready to give. The 6 week course I took with her was a little bit of heaven on earth! I came to her as a beginning/intermediate hooper. I could hoop and I could dance, but I couldn't quite hoopdance. Now, thanks to Anah's fantabulous tutelage, I can! She is the bomb! And the best part, she is so humble and demure. She is so incredible that myself and my hoop sista carpooled from Glendale to Topanga Canyon, every Wednesday for the 6 weeks of this course (an hour on surface streets)! And If she doesn't move her classes to Hollywood, I'll continue to drive out to Canoga Park, or wherever she is teaching! She reigns supreme! And is a really nice, fun and compassionate woman to boot! She has the keys to the kingdom and willingly gives her students all that they need to soar! ~Melanie Pleasure
