Hi, I'm Erica Preston.

I'm the founder of Hoop to the Rhythm®, a movement brand created to help women discover the joy, confidence, and freedom of hooping—especially if you're a complete beginner.

If you've ever watched someone hoop and thought, “That looks fun, but I could never do that,” you're in the right place.

You don't need dance experience.
You don't need natural rhythm.
You don't need to be flexible or coordinated.

You just need a hoop and a willingness to learn.

I teach hooping in a way that's simple, encouraging, and beginner-friendly, helping you learn foundational hooping skills, build confidence, and actually enjoy the process.

And for women who want to bring their faith into movement, I've created a special way to use hooping as an expression of Christian worship.

Beginner Hooping Made Simple

Learning to hoop doesn't have to feel intimidating.

My goal is to take the confusion out of getting started and help you build your skills one movement at a time.

Whether you're picking up a hoop for the very first time or you've tried before and couldn't quite get the hang of it, you'll find beginner-friendly instruction designed to help you:

• Learn the fundamentals of hooping

• Build confidence with your hoop

• Discover fun beginner hoop moves

• Improve coordination and body awareness

• Create your own flow and movement style

• Enjoy movement without pressure to perform

You don't have to be a dancer to become a hooper.

Hoop to Praise™

For women who want to combine their love of hooping with their faith, I created Hoop to Praise™—a beginner Christian hoop dance program designed to help you worship God through joyful movement.

It's approachable even if you've never hooped before.

Instead of focusing on performance or perfection, Hoop to Praise encourages you to use movement as a creative expression of praise, gratitude, and joy.

Movement can become worship.

My Mission

My mission is simple:

To help women discover the joy of hooping, grow in confidence through movement, and—when they desire—use that movement as an expression of their faith.

Whether you're here to learn how to hoop, develop your flow, or explore Christian hoop dance, I want you to feel encouraged and equipped every step of the way.
