Jewelz A Hoopz

Jewelz Hanssens is Head Hoopologist at Jewelz A Hoopz. She is founder and director of Hoopy Happenings – Australia’s first all inclusive annual hula hooping retreat.

Jewelz spins her hoops in many different ways; through hoop dance, circus style hooping, hoop choreography, “hooptales” (story telling with hoops), hoop fitness aka HoopFIT O’Clock, Hooptation and creative play. She adds hoops to her Laughter Yoga aka Hoopoga and is now teaching Jewelz A Kidz Yoga and you got it you will find hoops spin into that class too!

Her hoops come in varied shapes and sizes… mini-hoops, regular hoops, ginormous hoops, “Squoops” (square hoops) and even heart shaped hoops.

For extra pizazz she’ll light up your life with LED hoops. Fire hoops, fire fans, palm candles and fibre optic whips.

She twirls with isis wings and silk flag poi as well.

Jewelz first met the hoop in 2006. In 2008 they travelled together and on that trip a strong bond was forged. That plastic circle has spun her all over the world as a student and a teacher. Jewelz and her hoops have taught hoops to all ages from 2yo to 85yo. At hula hoop retreats, community circus schools, conventions, pre-schools, primary and high schools, Before & After School Care, vacation centres, council events, libraries, women’s retreats and at many a festival.

She has worked with people of many various abilities, with the disadvantaged and in social circus in Asia.

Hoopy Loopy Happiness is her tag line and that’s exactly what she likes to bring to you.
