HOOPLA ROVING

Invite Annabel to your event and it will be instantly brightened. Add colour, movement, very blue hair and lots of hula-hoops with this roving act, and keep those crowds entertained. Annabel will move about performing spectacular hula-hoop tricks and keeping the energy of your event up in the sky. Crowds of adults and kids alike will be entertained just watching all those hoops spinning, but they may also get to have a go too! This act has been performed all over the UK, Ireland and Australia, and works particularly well for festivals and children’s events.

Requires some space.
