Hip Circle Empowerment Center is a supportive and positive space for ALL women and girls. Through a full schedule of dance and fitness offerings, the center helps women meet their wellness goals, find an outlet for their creative expression, and connect with a community of women with similar wants and needs. We welcome ALL women and aim to inspire confidence, health, and joy in all stages of life. Mission: Through dance, fitness, and community we empower ALL women to believe they are strong, beautiful, and worthy of attention. Vision: The Hip Circle Empowerment Center is a safe space for women of all ages, backgrounds, and economic status. It brings together women from across societal boundaries for shared experiences. Through dance and fitness, women are empowered to joyfully inhabit their bodies. Through personal and professional development, women are empowered to courageously accomplish their goals. Through involvement in the studio community, women are empowered to confidently make their voices heard. We offer classes, workshops, personal training, fitness nutrition coaching, parties, and more! We first opened in June 2010, as Hip Circle Studio. In June of 2017, we became a nonprofit to expand access to our services and be truer to our mission. As a community-minded and driven space, we are an active member of the Howard Street Merchants Group and the Black Owned Business Consortium of Evanston/Northshore. Hip Circle Empowerment Center welcomes all who identify as women, regardless of age, size, fitness level, religion, race, social class, sexuality, gender assigned at birth, and any other possible discriminating factor. Our goal is to inspire Confidence, Health, and Joy through all the stages of your life.
