Lisa McCague

Lisa has lived in Escondido since 1999. She's had many hobbies, including candlemaking, and has taught for Escondido Recreation in the past.  She has also been a hoop dancer since 2009. Her love for this active hobby has grown into something she wants to share with everyone.  Hoop dance has become a new dance/fitness craze, and has received a lot of attention over the past two years. Hooping is now recognized as a legitimate form of exercise for weight management by the American Council on Exercise (ACE), and burns over 200 calories for just a thirty minute session! The art form of Hoop Dance incorporates music and personal movement expression into what doubles as a workout. It’s fun coupled with weight loss...what could be better?!  Anyone can truly learn to hoop. Lisa homeschools her two children here in Escondido, loves being active, is involved in theatre and music arts, and owns a dog, cat, chickens, and a rabbit; quite a mini-farm! Her philosophy in her hoop practice is that anyone can hoop, at any level, and LAUGH!
