On Mach 25, 2013 The Philly Hoopstarz performed for state Representative Vanessa Lowery Brown at the Horticulture Society.

The Philly HoopStarz is a junior hula-hoop dance troupe that rehearses weekly and performs in the Philadelphia region. We aim to increase self confidence, leadership, and team building within our communities. In 1996, a group of children from Philadelphia's inner city needed activities to keep them occupied but funds were low. So the youth group set out to find free fun things for them to do. The very first trip was to a free grandparents’ festival, in Fort Washington, PA.... This event gave out free samples of different products to the children; they played interactive games, and had a great time. That trip attended by four families marked the beginning of the Creative Kids Club that now has over 75 families and is still growing. Children in our club must be creative in motion in everything they do; this is the purpose of our name. We strive to bring out the creativity of our members through exposing them to arts and crafts workshops, recreational activities and cultural events. The Creative Kids Club members are youth (ages 1 to 18) and their families, of all socioeconomic levels, and diverse multicultural religious beliefs. Whether they’re foster children, youngsters cared for by their grandparents, little ones from single or two parent homes or developmentally delayed children, we even managed to create an enriching symbiosis between the club’s special needs members and seniors. We strive to teach our children by being different is what makes you special. The developmentally delayed children and youth integrate and increase their self-esteem when they are included as members of the club. Likewise, senior citizens on limited incomes have gotten in on the Creative Kids Club action! They enjoy the company of the youth who appreciate having a grandparent around. The Creative Kids Club’s programs are design to provide structured developmentally appropriate recreational services in the areas of program development, recreational interaction and training/workshops. Our motto is You Provide the Family, We’ll Provide the Fun. Georgette King Founder/CEO of the Creative Kids Club, Inc., a non-profit started in 1996.
