Marawa Ibrahim: Super-hooper
Everything Marawa Ibrahim does, she does with love. ❤️️
Marawa is changing the world’s view on hula hoops one hip-shake at a time, never forgetting to make friends along the way! 💃😃
Marawa the Amazing
“Conquer the world with hoops!” is Marawa’s battle cry. 😆
Marawa Ibrahim, better known as Marawa the Amazing, is taking over the world with her athletic abilities and contagious enthusiasm. 😄
Marawa always knew she wanted to be a performer like her heroes, so she went to circus school to learn how. 🎪
Marawa specialized in Swinging Trapeze, but she knew that hoops – with their fun and versatility – were her true calling.
People once told Marawa she didn’t have what it takes to be a performer. It’s a good thing she didn’t listen to them, because now Marawa is a multi-talented superstar and the author of The Girl Guide – a book all about girl power.
Best of all, Marawa has eight records under her belt (or hoop!).
The most iconic, perhaps, is the most hula hoops spun simultaneously – rotating 200 hoops at the same time! 😵
Around the world 🌎
Marawa’s performances bring the wow factor into wherever she appears. 🤩
During her career, Marawa has travelled the world, performing, teaching, and showing people the beauty of hula hooping as both a sport and an art form.
“I trained in a range of circus skills, but I knew my future was with hoops — super portable, super fun and anyone could get involved, any age, anywhere in the world with just a little bit of practice.”
As well as her world-famous record for spinning 200 hula hoops at the same time, Marawa also knows what it takes to go the distance with her hoop skills. 😎
On 1 Feb 2017, she ran the fastest mile hula hooping – 8 min 0.4 sec – in Venice, California, USA.
🏃♀️😍💃
I love teaching. I love performing. I love working on interesting projects. Most of all I LOVE making new friends all over the world. My postcard game is epic.

- fastest 100 m on high-heeled roller skates: 26.10 sec on 10 Aug 2013

Marawa's Majorettes
To help spread the magic of hoops in the world, Marawa created her very own team of glittering hoop artistes: the Majorettes! ✨
To be a Majorette you need to have serious skills and practice a lot, but most of all you just need to love performing and having fun! 😁
Just like Marawa, this team of super hoopers are in it for the win and have broken a variety of records. In 2017, they set two team records:
• Most passes of a hula-hoop by the feet in one minute: 26
• Most hula hoops spun simultaneously by a team: 299 (now broken)
Do you have what it takes to be a Majorette?

As she travels the world on her glamorous high-heeled roller skates, conquering it one hula-hoop at a time, Marawa makes people smile everywhere she goes. 😊
Marawa is proof that with passion, preparation and – most importantly - fun, all your dreams can come true.
