In 2009, three longtime friends went to the Burning Man festival together and gazed in awe at an amazing community driven by art, creativity, and an incredible passion for life. We wanted to be a part of it! We wanted to live it, breathe it, and contribute to this vibrant community! We wanted to share our love of hooping and all of the amazing benefits it brings with the world around us.. and we wanted to do it with style, grace, and glow <3
Hooping since 2008-2009, these three friends decided to create a company around our passions.. and MoodHoops was born <3 After years of being chosen family to each other, we took the leap to build something greater than just our individual selves.
In 2010 we left our jobs and moved to the same city to get things started. But first!! It was time to go to Burning Man again! This time, in a school bus filled with friends, we drove across the country from Florida to Nevada hosting a fun and colorful cross-country bus trip that will forever remain as one of the most awesome experiences <3 It was incredibly bonding for the three of us, and set the stage for the work and cooperation needed to realize our shared vision.
We started our company in a tiny, triangle-shaped house on stilts on the Weeki Wachee River, using every last corner to craft and ship our hoops. At one point the bus that was taken to Burning Man became a temporary living space so we could have extra workshop space. It was definitely a 'make it work' situation!
We opened up our online store January 1st, 2011 (1/1/11), offering a variety of color styles and sizes, making it easy to find just the hoop you were looking for. We expanded our space and selection over time, reaching out to new and seasoned hoopers far and wide across the globe. We became well known in the hooping community for durable, reliable hoops, excellent customer service and super fast shipping.
We have always taken pride in the hoops and the customer experience we create and treat every customer with care and respect, with their best interests in mind. This extra love that we poured into our customers has been returned to us ten-fold, and we thank you from the center of our hearts for the love and excitement reflected back at us <3 <3 <3
At the end of 2012 we released our FutureHoop! Mesmerizing visualizations across a spectrum of crisp and bright colors, we offered this ground breaking hoop at an affordable price! FutureHoop development continued to offer customization and control over the patterns, colors, and timing changes, using our custom designed remote control. To this day, this is still the easiest to use and most beautiful smart hoop right out of the box.
We lovingly employ a family of hoopcrafters and hoopsmiths to build each hoop and flow prop we create. We have honed our organization to be pleasant and well run through years of self review and optimization, ultimately allowing us to pass the savings on to you, our customers.
Every day we seek to create a safe and well run workshop that focuses on a good work-life balance and quality of life for our team. We are an LGBT friendly and woman friendly workplace, and we aim to employ a diverse and inclusive group of people. Racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia are not tolerated in our workshop. We believe every person deserves to earn a living wage and be treated equally, and with respect. We imbue these values into all that we do and create. Thank you for your support and patronage. We turn your hoop investment around into a special place to work as well as the beautiful you see before you <3
