A Journey of Passion
Valentina (Unity) started hooping in 2007, she then started teaching hoop dance and supplying local San Diego hoopers with handmade hoops in 2008. She has been making and selling hoops ever since then! All hoops are made with love! Thousands of hoops have been distributed by Unity Hoops over the years both nationally and internationally.
Valentina dazzles audiences around the world with her unique vision of circus dance fusion. Sharing her magic in both performance and workshops is her passion and drive. Valentina is a second generation belly dancer who was raised in the Los Angeles underground art scene by her mother, Leela, a successful theatrical belly dance icon. Valentina now blends belly dance with hooping, fire, burlesque, snake charming and aerial Lyra. Her ability to seamlessly combine these dance forms gives her a provocative style unlike any other. She is the leader of The Hoop Unit, a hoop fabricator and an event producer.
