WELCOME MIKORI!!! NEW HOOP INSTRUCTOR

INTRODUCING MIKORI: 

NEW HOOP INSTRUCTOR 

at FAB ACADEMY TOKYO!!!

Japanese Hoop Dancer, MIKORI, was first introduced to Hoop Dance in it's mecca, San Francisco. As a student and model in San Francisco and New York, she found that regular hoop dance sessions kept her in shape physically and brought peace to her busy life. She learned hoop dance at one of the most famous hoop dance communities, HoopGirl, in San Francisco where she developed a smooth and sexy hoop dance style of her own.

When MIKORI returned to Japan in 2009, she was ready to share her unique style of hoop dance with the international hooping community, regularly performing at various events and parties. She has also been featured as a hooper for some major medias such as "世界まる見え！テレビ 特捜部"("Sekaimarumie! TV Tokusobu") and "Non-no" magazine.　We're very excited to have MIKORI start teaching at FAB, she's been involved with FAB from it's beginning.  And we're all looking forward to meeting more new students and friends.

Hoop is fun and easy way to get in shape! 

A trendy exercise that many celebrities practice!
   

Hoop is very popular for celebrities in the U.S., but even in Japan many models and TV talent use hoop as their exercise.  

Hoop exercise works well the inner muscles , especially the waist line, and fixes posture. Hoop exercise can also help in losing weight.  In fact, one woman lost 6kg in a month.  

 The best thing about choosing hoop as your exercise is how much fun it is.  It feels like playing, but you are still getting in shape. Hoop is great for dance lovers or those who are bored with a normal exercise routine, and are looking for a fun and energetic workout.

Hooping Really Changed My Life

Earlier this week I sent out a little note to a few hoop loving friends and asked them for some feedback on their hooping experience. I was overwhelmed by the loving responses I got in return. They put a huge smile in my heart and one brought me to tears.

I have watched with love and wonder as Eva, a hooping student at FAB Academy, has gone from strength to strength with her hooping, self improvement, confidence and all over GLOW!

Eva your words blow me away as does your vibrance every time we meet. You are a great inspiration. Thank you!

Rocking our Hoop Glow


When I was a kid hooping was one of our favorite things to do.
One..two..five hoops...we didn't care. We came up with our own little
tricks and just had fun.
It took me more than 20 years to realize how lucky I was back then.

I re-started hooping 8 months ago at FAB Academy. I went to Deanne's
class and confronted her with the words: "Hey, I am sorry but I can't
hoop!" And she just smiled and said: "Why don't you try it out first!"
Her positive attitude was so contagious that I couldn't help but give it a try and it was pure FUN!!!
After a few spins I was able to keep the hoop on my waist for a little
while. What an uplifting experience! I took the class regularly and soon was able to do a few little tricks and made it to the next stage which
is chest hooping. I even did my own little hoop performance a few weeks ago! Dreams do come true, I know it!

Hooping really changed my life. I lost 25 cm on my waist and I am
fortunate enough to have to best hoop teacher in the world. It's not just my new shape, not just the huge amount of self-confidence I gained
from her class it's also the positive energy and the fun we have in
class every single time.

Hoop love is for me watching Deanne in her performances or in class and literally feeling the passion and the dedication she puts into her job. And
like a hoop doesn't have an end neither does hoop LOVE

Thank You, Deanne, for everything you have done for me!!!

Hoop Dance - The Next Level

Beginners & Beyond Hoop Dance Classes at FAB Dance Academy Tokyo 
Every Friday 6:30 - 8pm

While hooping on the waist is a powerful workout, core strengthening and calorie burning it is just one of the levels of the body for a hoop to rotate on. People are often surprised to see hoop dancers coiling up hoops to their chest, shoulder and neck. The upper body moves can be a real challenge to master but definitely provide a huge sense of achievement when accomplished and are always a crowd pleaser.

Chest Hooping
Get ready to work up a hoop sweat! Chest hooping works the upper body and gives you a hot workout. Using your internal coil and the muscles in your abdominals and back work on coiling and pulsating the hoop from your waist up to your chest in a smooth spiraling motion upwards. This can be a real challenge but it is a fun move to master.

Shoulder Hooping
Shoulder hooping looks hot, feels great and really helps to strengthen your upper body.This is a tough move that requires dedication. So don't give up!

Neck Hooping
A favorite with kids and adults. Hooping on the neck requires even, yet gentle pushes from energy centers on the back and front of your neck. An unusual feeling for some, neck hooping is the base for many shoulder and upper body hoop dance tricks.

Angles
A full on, whole body work out. Hooping on a forward and backward angle requires awareness of your center points. Thinking about pulsating your center points towards the sky while your body is on an angle to the Earth. You will be in hoop heaven!

Come and get your hoop groove on at Tokyo's most fabulous dance school, FAB Dance Academy.
