bio

Bunny Hoop Star is a multimedia artist, hoop teacher, and founding member of The Hoopaholics, Australia's one and only hulahoop troupe. She has been hooping for over a decade and now performs and teaches professionally in Australia and throughout the world. Drawing inspiration from both the Circus Arts and from the US 'Hoop Dance' scene, Bunny merges the two influences into a unique 'hybrid' hooping style. Read more about her performance style here

With a background in the Arts Bunny's approach to hooping has always been about being creative, crafting performance and staying fit while having fun. As business owner of Hoop Empire her intention is to share the hoop with as many people as possible in whatever way rocks their rhythm. Most importantly, as a devotee of the dancefloor, particularly those filled with disco beats, she is always on the lookout for dance spaces that accommodate her hoop and excites others to hoopjam!

Bunny's training includes classic circus hoop technique, American Hoop Dance, Nia / Spirited Movement, Yoga and self-directed dance land groove. With an emphasis on movement and flow her classes range from learning the basics of how to spin a hoop or two... or three or four... to more advanced Hoop Dance moves. She has been teaching the hoopla to both adults and children over the past three years and is an accredited trainer with the Australian Sports Commission.

Bunny's hoop skills cater to a wide variety of events including festivals, nightclubs, bars, parties, children's birthdays, art gallery functions, school programs, fundraisers, corporate events and teambuilding activities. Bunny has extensive experience hooping interactively with both small and big kids alike.

She also crafts and sells high quality hand-made hulahoops.
