About Soolah
As an instigator of fun & merriment, Soolah Hoops brings joy and a sense of play to the community through her love of sharing her hoops with everyone.
Soolah is Hoop & Fire Dance Performer as well as a Hoop Dance Instructor and facilitates classes and hoop meditation workshops around the country. Hoolah hoops officially entered her life in 2007 with a beautiful group of friends as she shared Reiki by using a hoop as a healing tool. After putting the hoop down for a year she picked it back up in hopes of working with fire in 2008. She began fire dancing in 2009 and Soolah has performed at many festivals and events bringing the love and art of fire to the public. Soolah performs with a fire hoop, staff, "s" staff, poi, orb, swords and umbrella. Soolah Hoops is fully insured to perform and teach workshops. Soolah did her beginning teacher training through Safire Dance. Soolah was featured in the Frederick News Post about hooping and how it has changed her life.

Soolah is on the cover of the novel "The Prey" by Andrew Fukuda. The cover art was shot by Stephen Carroll. We did this last year and after several running moments jumping over cow pies, into prickly things on the ground, we had several shots. This is the one that ended up on the cover of the book. You can order your copy today on Amazon! Check out Andrew Fukuda's website for more details on his vampire series The Hunt! Checkout more about photographer Stephen Carroll on his website! |
