PERFORMANCE

Have Island Hula Hoopla at your next event! 

*Hoopy Hour: Interactive Family Fun Hula Hoop Playtime

*Roving Entertainment

*Fire Dance 

I have been hula hooping since 2001 and performing fire dance with NOVA since 2004.  You might see me dancing through a street festival with iridescent hoops, lighting up an indoor celebration with glowing hoops, or putting a spark of magic in outdoor gatherings with flaming hoops, poi, fans, and staff.  I can also keep a crowd happily playing with hula hoops for hours.

  COSTUMING
Performing and costuming go hand in hand. Being able to create custom costumes has added a unique flair to my performing, and allowed me to offer both visual textile arts and movement arts in one.
