Let's Spice Up Your Flow 🌶️
You don't need more tricks — you need more dance in your flow. My philosophy is that the hoop should be an extension of your body and movements, rather than focusing solely on tricks. The moment you learn to move with the beat — instead of hooping on top of it — your entire flow uplevels.
That's exactly what we're doing together in this free 4-day challenge: one choreography, built piece by piece, that teaches you how to move to the beat and add more dance elements to your flow.
One video lesson unlocks each morning. Plan for 20–30 minutes a day. Lessons stay available through September 12th (one week after the challenge ends) so you can catch up or rewatch during the challenge window — then the videos come down. This is a live event, so go all in while the energy is ripe!!
How it works
- Day 1 (Wed, Sep 2): Learn the opening section — set the foundation, find the beat
- Day 2 (Thu, Sep 3): Add section two and focus on upper body movements
- Day 3 (Fri, Sep 4): Add section 3 with focus on lower body movements
- Day 4 (Sat, Sep 5): Run through whole choreography
It’s also a contest
Finish the challenge, then post a video of yourself doing the choreography on Instagram — ideally to the challenge song, "Don’t You See" by parkbreezy & TF Marz, though any song is allowed. Tag @soulhoopacademy and use #findyourflowchallenge by September 12th (one week after the challenge ends) and you’re entered in a random prize draw:
- 1st place: One full year of Single Hoop Level 1 + a private 1:1 session with Meli
- 2nd place: One full year of Single Hoop Level 1
Winners are drawn at random — every entry has an equal chance, whatever your level.
Who this is for
- Beginners who can do a few basic moves and want them to feel like dancing
- Intermediate hoopers stuck in the "trick collector" phase
- Experienced flow artists who want fresh choreography and musicality work
If you have a hoop, you can do this challenge.
Meet Your Teacher
Hi, I'm Meli :)
I've been hooping for 14 years, I have the most fun when I'm hooping always. I started Soul Hoop Academy in November 2025 in devotion to my love for this art and my commitment to helping as many people as I can pick up a hoop and uplevel. I strongly believe hoop dance heals the body, mind and soul while helping you build confidence and meet yourself at a deeper level. If you have a body, you can hoop! The only barriers are time and dedication.
FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes — completely. You create a free account so your lessons unlock each day, and that’s it.
What level do I need to be?
All levels. The tricks are intentionally simple so everyone can focus on the dance. If you can keep the hoop spinning on your waist or in your hand, you’re ready.
What do I need?
A hoop, a little space, and 20–30 minutes a day for four days.
What kind of hoop works best?
A 31" or smaller polypro or HDPE hoop is ideal — some of the moves we’re working on really shine with a lighter, more responsive hoop. If your hoop is bigger or heavier, you’re still welcome to join; a few moves may just take extra patience (or be a great excuse to treat yourself to a new hoop).
What if I fall behind or join late?
All four lessons stay available through September 12, so you can catch up any time during the window. On September 12 at 11:59 PM the videos come down — that’s also the deadline to post your video for the prize draw.
Do I have to use a specific song?
We suggest using the challenge song — "Don’t You See" by parkbreezy & TF Marz, the one we learn the choreography to — because the routine sits perfectly on it, and the entries are magical to watch side by side. But it’s not required: if another track is calling you, use whatever you like. The choreography is the entry, not the song.
Do I have to post on Instagram?
Only if you want to enter the prize draw. The challenge itself is yours either way. No pressure!
