about

Our mission is to encourage young children to have a lifelong love of fitness through hula hooping and circus arts. We aim to improve students’ physical health through movement and play as well as develop social skills and self confidence through team building activities and performances.

At Mad About Hoops, we believe fitness should be fun and kids should play every day!

Mad About Hoops is the nation’s #1 hula hoop after school program, and the progress and passion for hoop dance that our students find is nothing short of amazing. Whether you are looking for classes, after school fun, or you want to be a ‘hooper star’, our programs are for you. See how far hooping can take you!
