Ciera Banta

Welcome! My name is Ciera Banta. I am a full-time student finishing up a business degree (and on to the next one!)... but I am also a hoop dancer. "Hoop dancer?!" you say...

Remember Wham-O's kids hula hoops? Well this is a giant upgrade from the once fun "toy". Hoop dancing is a way to incorporate dancing into hula hooping - only Wham-O hoops are no where near the picture. By now you, of course, know that you can hoop on your waist, but did you know you can hoop on your hips, legs, ankles, feet, chest, arms, shoulders, hands, neck, and all areas near or in-between.

I have been hooping for about 7 months, and I've been progressing quickly thanks to my intense background of gymnastics and dance (such as ballet, tap, jazz, and street hop). Since day one, I fell in love and am hoping to take my talent further than a hobby-status.

The reason I'm telling you this is because I want to get into performing. I feel completely ready to do this, and am hoping this website will be the right starting point for a performance page.

More information - on my history, philosophy, and purchasable hoops - will be coming soon! <3 Happy Hooping
