Siena Moon discovered hula hooping at a music festival in 2009 and it was love at first spin. As soon as she returned home, she began attending weekly classes and taped her first hoops. Two summers later, she began performing on the Northeast music festival circuit as a solo act.
Inspired by vibrant performers at West Coast festivals and Burning Man, she made it her mission to get New England's festival scene up to speed by featuring hoopers and flow performers on stage with local bands and DJs. She began touring her solo act at dozens of local shows & regional festivals from 2010-2015. After a few years, she was thrilled to see events starting to show interest by creating flow tribes, offering flow workshops, and promoting creative collaboration between musicians and performance artists. Siena joined the Boston Hoop Troop in 2011 and has been delighted to see Boston's flow arts community blossom over the years.
Today Siena is a frequent performer with Boston Hoop Troop and Boston Circus Guild. She is a recent graduate of the Professional Preparatory Program at Esh Circus Arts, where she trained in aerial fabric, rope, and hoop. She completed teacher certification for hoop dance through Circles of Joy Hoops & Poi in 2011 and for aerial fabric & trapeze at the New England Center for Circus Arts in 2016. She is excited to see BHT continue to evolve as the hoop community grows and can't imagine life today without the plastic circle!
