If you're planning an event for your church, school, or ministry and want something that gets people moving, connecting, and actually engaging — not just sitting and listening — a Worship Hoop Workshop might be exactly what you're looking for.
Led by Coach Erica Preston, founder of Hoop to Praise™, these workshops combine hoop dance, scripture, worship music, and movement into an experience that's part fitness class, part faith encounter, and entirely memorable. And right now, workshops are available to book for schools, churches, and ministry groups of every age group.
A Worship Hoop Workshop is a guided, hands-on session where participants learn foundational hoop dance movements: Spin, Isolation, Fold, and Weave while connecting each movement to scripture, prayer, and worship. No dance background or hooping experience is required. Every session is designed to meet participants exactly where they are, whether that's a room full of first-timers or a group with some hooping experience already.
Instead of a traditional lecture or lesson, attendees get to move through the message. That's what makes this format so effective for groups that can be hard to hold attention with, think tweens, teens, and anyone who learns better by doing than by sitting still.
The beauty of this workshop format is its flexibility. Coach Erica tailors the experience for the specific group in the room, which is why it's a strong fit across so many different event types.
Worship Hoop Workshops make a powerful addition to a Sunday service, special event, or church retreat. They give your congregation a new, embodied way to worship, one that engages the whole person, not just the mind. It's an easy way to bring something fresh and unexpected to your calendar of events.
Tweens are often caught between "kid" activities and "teen" activities, and they're craving something that feels like their own. A Worship Hoop Workshop gives tween ministry leaders an engaging, screen-free activity that builds confidence, encourages movement, and introduces faith concepts in a way that actually sticks.
Teens respond to experiences, not lectures. This workshop gives teen ministry leaders a way to talk about topics like surrender, identity, and connection to God through a format that feels current and interactive rather than preachy. It's a great option for youth group nights, lock-ins, or retreat breakout sessions.
For women's ministry events, retreats, and small groups, Worship Hoop Workshops offer something many women are craving: permission to slow down, move their bodies, and encounter God without pressure or performance. It pairs beautifully with themes like healing, rest, and renewal.
For faith-based schools or school events with a spiritual component, this workshop offers an active, positive way to engage students in movement and encouragement, building confidence and community in a fun, high-energy setting.
Every Worship Hoop Workshop is built around a few core outcomes:
A new way to worship that engages body, mind, and spirit together
Practical movement skills participants can continue practicing on their own
A memorable, shared experience that brings the group closer together
Encouragement and scripture woven naturally throughout the session, not tacked on
A boost in confidence and joy, especially for participants who don't see themselves as "dancers"
Leaders consistently find that this format creates a level of engagement that's hard to achieve with a standard talk or lesson — and it gives attendees something tangible to remember the event by.
Worship Hoop Workshops can be customized to fit your event, including:
Single-session workshops (45–90 minutes)
Multi-day retreat sessions
Youth group and ministry nights
School assemblies or class periods
Women's retreat breakout sessions
