Ebonie Hoops

Performing Art – Chicago

Ebonie began exploring the art of hoopdance in the summer on 2010. This artistic method of movement began with crafting weighted fitness hoops for family and friends. Soon she began selling locally through shops and gaining students through self promotion. Through her discovery, she has grown balance, rhythm, meditation, sense of motion and spiritual development. With no previous background in any dance or gymnastics, Ebonie is 100% self taught. Committing herself to break boundaries with the hoop, Ebonie has demonstrated her art with her own style including hoop yoga fusion. She has broadened her horizons in the flow arts such as multiple hoops, fire hoops, contact staff, poi, and yoga. She is able to share this creative outlet through teaching hoopdance and hoop yoga. She acknowledges that anyone can tap into their own sense of organic movement with a hoop. Along with a connection to self & connection to a ever expanding community, there are a multitude of benefits from this art form. Ebonie loves sharing her joy and skill of hooping with anyone who is interested in this art. Performing has been a passion of hers ever since she walked on stage with her hoop for the first time.
