Cebu's Parkmall Hooping Class featured in GMA News.

Parkmall officially offered "Hoola Dance Workout" in its weekly fitness program, as a way to encourage mall-goers to maintain a more active lifestyle. The class officially began last May 21 2014, and we welcomed many new hoopers into the class.  GMA News was even there to film the whole thing.

Parkmall's "Hoola Dance Workout" is scheduled every Wednesdays 6PM-7PM. Admission is free, so be sure to join in on the Hoola madness!

Hooked On Hoops

Citigym's Saturday Hoop Dance students are our dynamic models for this Shopping Bag news feature. EJ Zabala, Paupau Alvarez, Claire Rana, La Verne Salas, Mayyang Derecho, and Peachy Bacalso put their hooping skills to good use by showing readers how hula-hoops are meant to be played.

Hula-hooping Made ExtremeI

While I was in Manila, I was fortunate enough to jam with the ladies of Hoopnation Philippines in Orange Studios. A good friend and photographer Derrick Ian Lim of Imagination Photography decided to drop by and some hooping photographs. Little did we know that this group shot he took would appear in Philippine Airline's inflight magazine- Mabuhay. A lovely surprise thanks to fellow hooper- Michelle Callo.

Where The Girls Are

Cebu City's lifestyle magazine- Zee Quarterly puts together a shoot featuring the finalists of the prestigious local pageant- Miss Cebu. We were more than happy to lend out a few colorful hula-hoops to sit in the backdrop.

Come Out And Play

The very first appearance of Hoopaholic Cebu in the press. Hoopaholic Cebu was still brand new, and hooping was still practically unheard of in the Philippines.
