FAQ

  • Do I have to take Hoola-Fit Foundations Part 1 first?

    Because Part 2 builds off the skills set covered in Foundations Part 1, it's a great idea to take that course first. However, if you are a recreational hooper who is already familiar with waist hooping and recoveries, hand spins, lifts and body passes, then you might be fine to take Part 2 alone. While you don't have to enroll in the first 4-part series, it's a great idea to do so. This way, you'll also get a feel for Abby's teaching style and flow of class.

  • What's Included in Hoola-Fit Foundations Part 2?

    Part 2 is the next step in the moves we consider foundational for hoop dance fitness. You'll learn how to hula hoop on your shoulders and legs. You'll also learn how to properly do Isolations, which are great for strength training and optical illusion technique. Speaking of optical illusion technique, we also cover the vortex in this series. Each class includes drills, tips and exercises to keep you inspired and creative with your flow. Abby always provides modifications and advanced variations too!

  • When I learn the skills in Parts 1 & 2, will I be ready for the Hoola-Fit Teacher Training?

    Yes! Hoola-Fit Foundations Part 1 and 2 are the moves required to participate in our American Council on Exercise approved teacher training. Be sure to check that out as well - as it's our flagship course and the most comprehensive curriculum offered for those looking to teach hoop dance fitness.
