Spiral

San Francsico, CA

Once fatefully kissed by stardust from the rings of Saturn, Spiral developed an uncommon affinity and passion for circles and revolutionary motion. Equal parts Magician, Circus Artist, Whirling Dervish, and Ninja, she brings the kind of tingle to the spine that can only be wrought as a direct result of tireless training, incredible skills, and occasional conspiracy with otherworldly forces.

Emanating an electric presence for groups of 20 or 20,000, Spiral has mesmerized audiences from the catwalk in Hong Kong, to galleries in New York, to nightclubs in Vienna. The hoop led Spiral to circus and flow arts, where she was inspired to explore other disciplines including: contact sphere dance, fire dance, acrobatics, flow wand, living statue, aerial hoop and aerial fabric. She has performed as a guest artist with Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque, Nimble Arts, Quixotic Fusion, Cirque Voila, Omimeo Mime Theatre, the Vau de Vire Society and The Yard Dogs Road Show. Amidst an impressive CV of credits and accomplishments, are awards for "Best Hoop Performer" and "Best Hoop Instructor" in 2011.

Spiral has been on the cutting edge of hoop dance for over a decade, transforming a child's toy and fitness tool into an art form. She is an established founder and celebrated leader of the global hoop dance and flow arts movements, performing and teaching all over the world and inspiring thousands of people to move, heal and express themselves through dance.

In addition to her talent as a performer, Spiral has self-produced two instructional and inspirational DVDs in the art of hoop dance; ever on the mission to inspire and empower others through the transformative magic and beauty of the circle.
