Classical With HULA HOOLA:
I have started
using the Hoop as part of weigh lost program in 2013. I got inspired by various
Hoop weight loss activities in YouTube. Practicing myself from starting point,
to atleast to stand by the hoop, slowly learned step by step Hooping. I have
noticed, many weight loss programs are depend up on the western Music and
Hooping according to the Music. That is the first Idea, I ever think about to
replace the western Music with Indian Classical Music. From then it increased
my passion more to Dance. Thanks to Hoop.
