Our partnership with HealthCorps is still going strong. Hoopnotica has participated in several “Highway to Health” festivals over the past few weeks.

Name: Emily Millen Hooper Since: 2009 Age: 23 Location: Los Angeles, CA Occupation: HealthCorps Coordinator Favorite Hoop:The HealthCorps hoop of course! Favorite Song to Hoop to: I work in a high school, so we've all got Beiber Fever “I first got started hooping when Hoopnotica came to my health fair that I put on as part of my job as a HealthCorps Coordinator at Canoga Park High School. It's a great workout and the perfect alternative to the mundane P.E. class exercises that all my students hate. I purchased a bunch of hoops for my students and implemented "Hooping Wednesdays", where we take the hoops outside during lunch on Wednesday and hoop with a DJ spinning jams for us. The kids LOVE it, and they'll follow me around campus asking to go grab the hoops out of my office. They're definitely a hit at my high school. I'm all for anything that gets my students moving!” I'm so honored to be hooper of the month! Hooping is such a great way to connect with my students, which is definitely my favorite part of it. Also, my mom once won a hooping contest at summer camp and my little dachshund Stewart's favorite trick is to jump through a hoop for treats, so hooping clearly runs in the family!
