As waves upon my head the circling curl, So the sacred dance weave ye and whirl. Dance then, O heart

About Me

Check out our website at www.KaivalyaHoopDancers.com!

The Kaivalya Hoop Dancers began in the Fall of 2006 when a group of happy hoopers discovered each other and came together to "urban hoop" in Denver, Colorado. Since then, we have continued to delight in the euphoria and bliss of hoop dancing and have performed throughout the country, at various clubs, venues, concerts, festivals, and special events.

Our name, "Kaivalya", is Sanskrit for isolation and freedom from conditioned existence. When we step into our hoop, we step out of the mundane and into a sacred space of spirit-energy, which we manifest into the manifold. In good spirits, we wish to share these spiraling sensations with others through performance, instruction, hoop making, and a mobious-bliss of enthusiastic exercise: Full cycle, full circle, and through the ouroboros of time...

Hoop dance has shaped our life into a whirling spiral of happiness, creating increased overall health and wellness, and it is our mission to share our passion with others.

Our performers are specialty insured for hoop dance and fire dance. If you are interested in having us spice up your next event, please leave a message in our inbox.

We have a few experienced hoop dancing instructors, who regularly taught at the Donna Bella Dance and currently teach at Aerial Dance Over Denver and Bella Dance Studio. For more information, please go to www.AerialDanceOverDenver.com and www.bellastudiokc.com.

We currently wish to expand our hoop dance fitness classes throughout Colorado, as hoop dancing promotes core strengthening and cardio endurance, while enhancing self-esteem and libido.

If you are interested in purchasing a hoop from us, we will make any size and weight, including collapsables (Sunfire's Gypsy Hoops). Price depends on the request. We have an online store set up on our website, www.KaivalyaHoopDancers.com (or www.ColoradoHoopers.com).

Below are some old videos of us, we hope to have some new ones edited soon...
