Heather the Hooper

I can hoop anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours, if it is a staged performance as the sole entertainer (such as an opening act) the max time I will perform is 20mins. Passive/roaming entertainment can be up to 5 hours (such as receptions or festivals). I have a few beautiful taped day hoops that are shiny, colorful, and reflective in the day, and I have an LED smart hoop that lights up intricate patterns and colors in the night (Hyperion hoop). I can hoop with one or two hoops professionally.

I can create a custom, rehearsed dance for shorter events where the performance is expected to last around 5-20mins, or if it is a longer event such as a festival, reception, party, etc, I can continuously hoop and perform tricks the entire time. It is a beautiful, soothing, engaging, mesmerizing, and energetic performance for both adults and kids to watch.

If you would like multiple dancers at your event - let me know! I run a local hoop group where I can pull more dancers.

All I'd need is a spot to hoop - please provide approximate dimensions if it is a stage performance. If you have music I can easily dance to nearly any genre, otherwise, I can customize a playlist fitting to your event. I can bring minor audio equipment if it isn't supplied (loud outdoor speaker).

I picked up a hoop about 4 years ago. I absolutely love hooping for its stress relieving and physical effects, and especially its entertaining quality! I've met amazing people since I've started hooping and have been asked to perform numerous times - I have performed as an opener on stage and as passive entertainment roaming through crowds. I have also taught several people how to go from a complete novice hooper to advanced.

I lived in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Oregon for a time before I moved out to Denver--I LOVE it here! In my free time I love to crochet like crazy and spend time dying in hot yoga classes, although hooping is my #1 hobby. :) I am also working full-time as an Office Manager at an architecture and engineering firm while also attending school full-time at CU Denver - I will graduate in May 2020 with a BA in Public Service Nonprofit Mgmt!

No stage is required, but a space large enough to move around in is required, preferably a space ranging from 15x15ft at the minimum, but I can hoop in small spaces or on platform podiums as well.

No music is required, but it does enhance the performance. Any music is suitable for hooping, I can create a custom playlist fitting to your event if you don't have preferences, otherwise your music should work perfectly. If you can send me the playlist you plan on playing during your event beforehand to give me time to feel it out and flow to it, that would be great, however this is not necessary. Improv flow is easy!

If you want me to use the LED aspects of the hoops, the environment will need to be dim or dark, the lights are not very visible in the day time or full sunlight.
