Parties

Hoopy Parties

(so far I did hen parties, kids parties, birthday parties adults only & mixed)

I like performing with hoops but it can be more fun to get everybody spin and that gets them appreciate the skill a bit more. So people started to hire me for adult, mixed or kids parties and community events to get them entertained with my performance as well as my teaching skills.

What ususally happens is that I get the party people hooping for an hour during which they learn basic tricks that look really awesome. I try to pick the most spectacular tricks that can be done even if one had no encounter with a hoop ever before. I cannot guarantee how well everybody will do but I try to fit in a couple of tricks which we can link together so by the end of the hour we can perform a pretty little hoopdance routine. It is quite surprising how well people can do!!! Kids do even better than adults - with them we try to make it playful & not worry much about the routine.

I am insured to teach as well as perform (including fire acts) and I have enhanced CRB.
I provide hoops of all sizes, I can bring my music player and discs but I do not do any catering or costumes, all I provide is the entertainment.

Things to bear in mind

It would be quite nice to do hooping with people before they eat or drink. You can imagine what we end up with if we eat a meal, a slice of cake maybe have a few drinks and then start gyrating with a ring massaging the contents out of our tummy... So I always prefer to go before the starter if people want to spin. If it is just me showing off it does not matter but plan wisely :)

Pregnant women, those who had surgery recently or had a serious injury will not be able to join in.

Costs

(Except Friday & Saturday evenings) before
7pm my hourly rate is £60
On that I add travel expense of 40p per mile if the event is out of a 5 mile radius of Basingstoke. If you need me for your event after 7pm please email me to request a detailed timetable for prices.

If you wanted to have a hoopy party all you would need to do is get in touch as soon as you know what the date is going to be so I can put your event in my diary. I do get booked up quite quickly so please do not hesitate.

Testimonial:

Joint 15th birthday party in Odiham:

"The party was a huge success, we have received many comments that everyone really enjoyed themselves, and I too hope that they continue practising the tricks you demonstrated with their own hoops. I would definitely recommend you to others for something a little different.

You definitely captured your audience, as it was very clear to see that the girls had learnt from you as they were trying out the different moves, they were all exhausted and their faces clearly reflected what a fun experience they were having which is a true reflection of your style that you have the ability to put people at ease.

Your demonstration was amazing this was evident by the sheer delight, cheers & whoops from the audience watching you, they clearly were mesmerised, as indeed was I."
