Introducing the super sweet, extra lovely and always smiling Kana as Super Hoop Lover this week!
Japanese Hoop Dancer MIKORI has recently returned from the Hoop Dance mecca San Francisco. As a model in San Francisco and New York MIKORI found that regular hoop dance sessions kept her in shape physically and brought peace to her busy life. Taking Hoop Girl classes with hoop performer, instructor and costume designer Annie, MIKORI developed a smooth and sexy hoop dance style. MIKORI has returned to Japan to share her unique style of hoop dance with the international hooping community.

ABOUT DEANNE
Tokyo-based hooper Deanne fell in love with the art of Hoop Dance many moons ago and has not spent a day without her hoops since.
Early in 2008 she took her hoops on a magical journey down under to meet with mentor and hoop idol Bunny Hoop Star. Together in Sydney they shared the Hoop Love, Bunny imparted her wealth of circus hoop and hoop dance knowledge culminating the teacher training with a divine LED and Fire Hoop jam on the shores of Bondi Beach. Deanne soaked up all the hoop juju and returned to Tokyo to share the love and passion for hoop dance with the movers and groovers of the illuminated city.
Now a qualified Hoop Dance instructor Deanne can be seen lighting up dance floors in Tokyo clubs with her LED hoop light shows. When she is not burning up the dance floor she can be spotted sharing the tricks of the hoop trade in parks and dance studios across Tokyo, teaching young hoopers in after school clubs and helping new hoopers explore their limitless bodies and get their groove on.
Deanne recently returned from California where she spent two weeks hooping, connecting, dancing and sharing with other hoopers from around the world at Hoop Camp and Harbin Hoop Jam. Filled with new hoop passion and inspiration Deanne continues to connect the Tokyo hoop scene with the global hoop community.
