The Hooping Powers Revolution!

Hooping Powers' team consists of professional movement artists with a focus on the joy of Hoop~Dance. Founder Noelle Powers is one of the earliest establishers of the modern Maryland hooping movement. Having lived and hooped for several years in the emerald city of Seattle and then relocating to the DC~B'more area, Powers assessed that many Mid-Atlantic folks could definitely use some loosening up, and the Hooping Powers Revolution was birthed!

Current Class Schedule~

We are pleased to offer dynamic hooping classes to folks of all ages, abilities, sizes, genders, and lifestyles. Hooping Powers' classes focus not only on the incredible bodily benefits of hooping, but also on the brain & soul strengthening effects that hooping creates for individuals and world communities alike. In addition to body and brain wellness, classes emphasize each participant's unique hoopdance stylings, creating a graceful fusion of hooping fundamentals & flairamentals with the way in which a person normally moves & shakes it through the world~
