Questions

What parents ask before enrolling

Is HoopStar Academy a real, registered academy?

Yes. HoopStar Academy has run online kids' hula hoop classes since 2021 and has delivered over 20,000 paid class enrollments to more than 12,000 families across 40+ countries. Classes are taught live by trained coaches, and there is a full admin, support and sales team — several of whom appear in the film on this page. Parents rate HoopStar 4.8 out of 5 on Google.

Can a child really learn hula hooping online?

Yes, and it's the only way we've ever taught. Classes run live over video, so the coach watches your child hoop and corrects her during the session — it isn't a recording. Hula hooping needs a hoop and a couple of metres of space, which makes it one of the few physical skills that transfers cleanly to an online class. You can see the full 78-skill curriculum before you decide.

What ages do you teach?

Classes are built for children aged 4 to 12, and most of our students are between 4 and 9. Coaches are trained specifically for that age group rather than being general fitness instructors.

Do you have students outside India?

Yes — students in more than 40 countries, including the USA, UAE and the wider Gulf, the UK, Canada, Singapore and Malaysia. Batches are scheduled across time zones, and you can see the live batch timings before enrolling.

Who teaches the classes?

Trained hula hoop coaches employed by the academy, each working with a small batch so every child gets corrected by name. Four of them introduce themselves in the film above.

What happens if my child misses a class?

Up to two compensation sessions are scheduled with the same coach after the batch concludes. The full policy is published in our class guidelines — before you pay, not after.

How do I see the batches open for my child?

Message us on WhatsApp with your child's age and we'll send the batches currently open for that age group and your time zone, or browse the full schedule yourself.
