Great Entertainment and Family Fun

We hired Kitty for a Family Dance at my kid’s school. She performed with LED hula hoops and brought extra hula hoops to gave roaming interactive lessons. The kids loved her and the event was hit! I highly recommend Kitty, and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her for another event. She’s a good communicator, flexible and accommodating, professional, and clearly loves what she does. We collaborated on the flow of the evening, outfit choices, and music selection. Overall, Kitty was very easy to work with and everyone has a blast. Don’t wait. Book her today!

Super fun at kids party!

Kitty Hoops came to my kiddos birthday in full themed costumes to to hula hoop dance with the kids at the party and entertain them. They were fascinated with her look and performance skills. She really put on a show. She had about 30 extra small hula hoops for all the kiddos to play and demonstrate their skills. They really love that. She is super responsive, accommodating and punctual. She would be an excellent entertainer to have at your event! Thank you!!

Best teacher

I am writing this review as a private lesson/group class student of Kitty's. Kitty is an amazing teacher with patience and talent. I had been trying to learn hoop skills by watching youtube videos or just trying it on my own without much progress. But everytime I have been in a class/workshop with Kitty I am able to master a new move and leave more confident in my abilities. Even in the large group classes, she manages to engage with every individual and assist them if they are struggling with a move. I have been hooping now for 3 years and I wouldn't be where I am today in my skill and performance confidence without Kitty's encouragement.

About

Kitty is a performer tucked sweetly in the bay area hills of sunny California. The year 2017 marked a pivotal moment for Kitty, as she encountered the hula hoop, igniting an unwavering passion for a variety of movement forms. Her devotion to hula hoop flow, sword dancing, fusion belly dancing, and fire dancing has become a testament to her love for expression through motion. From over 10 Bay Area local events to music festivals like Stilldream and Lightning in a Bottle, Kitty's performances come to life under the spotlight. With each step, she weaves a story that resonates with the audience, a testament to her dedication and commitment to her craft.

Having immersed herself in the world of hooping for 7 years, Kitty expanded her love for flow through an instructing role, sharing her hoop wisdom initially with her inner circle. Kitty has shared her expertise in flow at several prominent California festivals, including The Untz, Stilldream, and Raindance Campout. Furthermore, Kitty has organized 5 workshops in the Bay Area and has facilitated a two-month series of weekly classes at Danzhaus in San Francisco.

For the past 2 and a half years, Kitty has been dedicated to conducting weekly hoop lessons for youth ages 5 to 10 at her local community center. This commitment showcases her desire to share the art of hooping and its joys with those around her. Her ultimate mission is to inspire the youth to gain confidence through movement and embrace their most authentic, creative, joyful selves.
