Katja is the best!

Katja is my go-to person for all things event planning! Even amidst my perpetually hectic schedule she made an effort to meet virtually. Thanks to her warm and inviting energy I felt reassured that everything would go smoothly at my festivals.

Great teacher and performer!

I took a hoop workshop with Katja about a year ago. She was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. I saw her perform (hoop and stilt) for the first time at an event downtown. Her performance was beautiful and emotive. The love and energy put into her costumes and music selection really sets her apart from other hoop performers.

Excellent entertainer and teacher!

I have watched Katja perform downtown and taken her classes. She is the best hoopdancer I have ever seen (including those on the Internet). I would highly recommend her as an entertainer and as a teacher. She works with kids teaching classes and also adults. She is very sweet, too (patient, kind, positive). She is truly gifted as a performer and brings the amazement factor that's so beautiful to watch.

My first choice!

So beautiful and expressive! Her hoop dancing was truly wonderful. She was also quite charming and made my guests feel comfortable at our anniversary party. Hiring her honestly made the difference between a dinner party, and an Event. I would recommend her to anyone interested in taking things up another level!

Talented & So Creative!

I have worked with Katja and seen her perform for many events. She dedicates on giving a fantastic show and keeps audiences mesmerized by her talent in both hoop dancing and stilt walking! Katja is a joy to watch perform and can work with all age groups wonderfully. I would highly reccommend her for your next event!
