    Everyone can hoop!

    Emilie Joy Rowell

    Professional hoop dancer.

    Emilie has been teaching hoop dance for over 10 years. She first picked it up in 2009 after seeing Grace Jones rock the hoop on stage; she realised life was missing something circular and started learning. Since then she’s been hooked on hoop and has performed in large choreographed acts as well as solo and smaller group shows across the UK, and was in the final 10 of Hooping Idol 2014.

     

    She’s taught over 1,000 people to hoop at classes, festivals and workshops including pensioners, policemen, toddlers and bankers. Interested in hooping as a release and a challenge; a tool for creativity and health.

     

    She's also a fully qualified yoga teacher, so you know you're in safe hands.
