A video my friends Jewels shot of me in 'dervish' style hooping, which is what we're calling a sustained spin Flow, in a skirt, utilizing dynamic stalls, tracing, and framing. Hope you enjoy!
Performance demo. This is from 2007. Updated demo coming soon!

Throwing down to Brother at Earthdance 2006- Many folks have asked me how to get ahold of the music in the clip. If you like the sound, this song is "The Time is Now" on their album "This Way Up" available through BROTHERmusic.com
I perform an athletic, graceful, mind-blowing style of hoop dance, unique in style and approach and created by my own powerful interactions with this circular, symbolic dance partner. Incorporating circus arts, hip-hop roots, modern dance background

I hope to make it to the Burn. *trying to pull the mullah in, its looking promising. How is your act creation coming along?! Beautifully I'm guessing. That is an understandable priority!
Its hard to believe it is June already. Ally Cat gifted a hoop convergence sticker to me, soo sweet... I felt the magic immediately. How was being back in NC?? must have been so nice to see home and friends and hoop lovers, united. oh to have been there. Sending you love!!!
I was creepin' around online, and I always seem to stumble upon you and your magical beauty. I do hope to bump into you this summer, somewhere & somehow. How are you and how is life going?
Hi Spiral! I took your class in Carrboro about 4 years ago, and just wanted to tell you that hooping has become such an important part of my life! Many thanks to you and Baxter for starting me on the path :)
Hi Spiral! I just wanted to thank you for adding me - I know you're super busy. Like I mentioned in my invite, I'm just an old lady who's new to the hoop. I started making hoops in November and was laid off from my job in December. Now...I'm trying to find a way to incorporate the hoop into my life as a profitable and positive influence. Somehow??? I know it's there...somewhere???
It seems like I have spent more time creating hoops then actually hooping - maybe because that's easier for me to be instantly gratified? So...things are off to a slow start and just maybe your creative energy will inspire me to keep moving forward and strive to be better tomorrow (at whatever I do) than I was today. Although I don't ever see myself becoming an actual hoop performer, I'b be happy just being a confident, happy, successful and beautiful person....with a few tricks up her sleeve!
Sending you positive vibes to spin around the world...Kerry
