Hipdrop, Columbus, OH
I have been a closet hooper for quite sometime and started a dedicated hoop practice after a friend needed a goGo dancer for her burlesque show. I am also belly dance instructor/performer for 8 years performing sword, candle, zills and balancing various things on my head. My mother said that I danced before I could walk and spent most of my adolescence in many different styles from street to formal dance. I have taken hoop dance instructor training with Caroleena of Circles of Joy.
One of my goals as a hoop dancer is to reach women and provide workshops to women's organizations. I presently work at Equivita Fitness and own Hipdrop Studio in Clintonville, Ohio and host Hot House Hoop Parties. I have taught at Midwest Hoop Festival, performed at the Gahanna Walk as a "Pay It Forward" Artist, Ohio State Fair, Gahanna Cultural Arts Festival, Spit-N-Sketch. I perform with Swirl, Geo Gaia Fire Arts and Na-Hot-Nah.
