Betty Hoop’s performances are very unique. Her mission to bring out the child in everyone is contagious. After her show, she comes into the audience to teach others how to hoop. I love coaching people on how to show off to friends and guests. You cant imagine the cheers and excitement that come from watching someone learning to hoop in front of a few hundred people at a cocktail party.
Betty has also created 2 cross sports; Hoop Running and Hoop Snowboarding. She has set the World Record for distance and speed Hoop Running and broken it by over 30 minutes. Featured in the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records, she continues to Hoop Run the same race every year, fundraising for different charities. Her winter sport is Hoop Boarding on all level ski runs.
She was signed with Gaiam, a leading yoga company, to design and produce the 4 Rhythm Hoop Dance Workout DVD and the Collapsible Dance Hoop. Together they produced what thousands are saying is the best collapsible hoop in America.
