Buy a Hoop
My hoops are made with sturdy polyethylene pipe and decorated with colourful vinyl tape.
All prices are in Canadian dollars.
A basic hoop is $50 (standard colours), wrapped with one background colour and one spiral or stripe colour, and includes a credit for $10 off your next hoop or Hoop Play class.
Please note that classes at the Roundhouse are not included in this offer, but all hoops (in standard colours) purchased through the Roundhouse at time of registration are $40.

Special designs
Standard design is a single spiral on a solid background. Second spiral is applied in the opposite direction for a criss-cross effect. Custom designs (weaves, colour banding) can be arranged, extra charges will apply based on complexity of design.

Beautiful!
Hoop Sizing
If you don't already know what size of hoop you prefer, measure (while standing) from the floor to mid-point on your torso (halfway between bellybutton and nipple line) and send me that measurement as the DIAMETER of your hoop. If you normally wear clothing that is 2XL or larger, let me know so I can size your hoop appropriately. Hoopers of all shapes rock!
Already know what size you want? Send me a measurement, specify if it is the DIAMETER or CIRCUMFERENCE and whether it is in inches or centemeters.
Giving a gift hoop to someone you can't measure? Tell me their approximate height and clothing size (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, whatever) and I'll build a hoop that will work for them.
Hoop Weight Options
3/4" diameter heavyweight pipe makes a mid-weight hoop that combines the stiffness of heavier tubing with the handling ease of a skinnier tube to create a hoop ideal for dancers who like to do a lot of trick moves

3/4" diameter lightweight pipe makes a hoop that is easy for small bodies and hands to manage, recommended for extra small hoops intended for young children or only hand-hooping by adults discontinued - limited supply, custom sizing still available
