My Voice, Brand Signature and Dance Stylings coexist in Holistic Hoop.  My intention is to highlight the influence and integration of dance techniques, musicality and the rhythmic awareness from the 1920’s to present day in my weighted Hoop classes and video performances.

The modernity of dance and Hoop practice encompasses my years of dance and vocal studies.  Hearing and weaving the music into the patterns of body movements, esp. hips, arms and feet in tandem, enhances the complexity of a simple circular object---the weighted Hoop.  Sustaining the anti-gravity on-waist and hip level rotations require coactivation of core and subtle whole body moves.  Fusing speed, paucity and tempo create the illusory difficulty of my Hooping skills.

In addition, my usage of props and their various elements of weight, texture & sound i.e. large scarves, performance fans, drumsticks, leather soled shoes, piano bench and Bosu Ball, augment the synchrony of breath and bodywork.

The more that I teach and innovate in my weekly/pop-up classes and solo performances, the more that I am inspired to fuse my various Hoop/Dancing skills into a cohesive visual art form.

Holistic Hoop is my niche.
