Hoop Book Hoopers
It was such an honor to interview the following people for The Hoop Book! They inspired me so much. By listening to their stories and journeys, I explored the healing art of hoop dance. A few years ago I started hooping because I liked it. After interviewing all of these people I discovered hooping on an entirely different level. It deepened my practice in so many ways. I’m so happy to share their stories with the world. Maybe you’ve enjoyed their stories too while reading the book and you want to find out more about them. You’re at the right place.
Other awesome hoopers
There are countless amazing hoopers out there. Everyone dances in their own unique way. Limiting myself to just twelve people for the interviews in the book was a near-impossible task, because I’d much rather celebrate everybody! That’s why the following hoopers also got a little spot in my book. If you want to see them dance, go to their Instagram account. And still, there are lots of other talented hoopers who belong in here.. I think I’ll have to make another book!

I love her vintage, burlesque style of dancing and her highly diverse repertoire of performances (whips, fans and a dragon staff for example).
