Performing Art – Chicago

Hi, Im Michelle, 24 year old fire dancer and hula hoop artist! I was born and spent my entire life in Bloomington, Illinois. As a child I was constantly being active and enjoyed taking lessons for various activities, I just wanted to learn! I took a break from most of my extra-curricular activities later in high school to focus on my school work. It was until about the age of 20 that I discovered the hula hoop! I instantly fell love and began hooping daily, it felt great to get back into the movement arts! The hoop brought with it a discovery of other motion arts, prop manipulation, circus arts and fire play! It also showed me that I can really do anything I put my mind to, including taking my passion to the stage! Since I started performing my hoop and fire act about 2 years ago I can\'t imagine my life with out it! I recently moved to Chicago for further advancement in my career and training. I dedicate my life to the study of movement arts and how to fuse them together into a completely original and exciting act. Since moving to Chicago I\'ve began studying hand balancing, ballet, hip hop, aerial arts, yoga, contortion and more. I love sharing my art and spreading the knowledge of hoop dance and fire arts! I can\'t wait to see where the rest of my performance journey will take me!
