IN THE NEWS

It's fair to say I am hooked on hooping, fire performing (with NOVA Firespun Performance Arts) and teaching.  I am so honoured to have been able to share these passions with my West Coast/Island community. 
Here's a smattering of juicy news pieces, presss releases and posters from along the way.  
 Including the poster from the very first time I stepped onstage to share my love of hooping in a 2002 'Gypsy Hoopdance'.
This is not a comprehensive list - just bits of what I have managed to save throughout the years.

What to do in the winter when you need a practice space?
Work with your local Rec Center and host a HoopJam!
It's a great way to promote active living,
positive family/community time, and the movement arts!

Pure magic when an epic storm stops just long enough
for our fire show and the lantern release...
The moment was so striking that local artist Theresa Wild
captured this image in her
"Firedancer" painting,
which was in turn featured as the cover art for the We'Moon 2010 Calendar
