Hoop Girl Coming to the UK

American Fitness Icon Teaches Hula Hooping As A Hip New Career Path


Mesmerizing spectacle meets physical enlightenment in Hoopdance, an ever-evolving form of fusion fitness. Undulating, playful movements make up a sexy, beneficial workout that absolutely anyone can master -- thanks to the aid of adult-sized, weighted hula hoops.

International demand for Hoopdance instruction has spurred an entirely new career field, one that's open to anyone seeking a creative job change. To meet the needs of enthusiasts worldwide who seek to wiggle and swivel their way into shape, San Francisco-based HoopGirl Christabel Zamor has designed a HoopGirl teacher certification course that is going global.

"Exercise must be enjoyable," Zamor said. "The HoopGirl Workout is feel-good fitness that anyone can do. It is amazing to watch people who thought they never could hoop, succeed.”

That philosophy is articulated in HoopGirl's motto: "Get fit. Feel sexy. Have fun." It's helped Zamor establish a veritable Hoopdance empire, with group classes, private lessons, instructional DVDs and performances. It's something Zamor believes anyone in any part of the world can accomplish, and it's why she's driven to train more teachers.

The teacher certification course has evolved substantially since the first weekend-long session in San Francisco hosted women from across the United States. Today, the course covers 24 hours worth of material, and includes everything students need to effectively teach a Hoopdance fitness course; it's also a crash course in running a small business, providing students with a sense of marketing savvy and all the ephemera required to operate a small business.

What Zamor most strives to instill in her students however, is the ability to radiate confidence; it's an essential ingredient to succeed in this unique, burgeoning industry.

"Confidence is knowing you can help anyone learn to hoop like a superstar” she said. "For a teacher to walk into the class with the resolution that 'I can do this,' that's the most important thing."
The original HoopGirl, Christabel Zamor, will be hosting a teacher certification course in the UK at Nuneaton, Warwickshire from 27th to 29th April 2007. For more information on the course, or Hoopdance in general, visit her Web site at www.hoopgirl.com
