Groovin' MeGzz
Groovin MeGzz grew up in the mountains of Virginia and always had a passion for artistic expression through music and dance. She always made sure to approach these practices with her bright personality and a positive attitude. When she discovered her passion for the hoop, during the summer of 2006, she immediately felt the connection and knew she belonged inside the circle. As she grew as a hooper, she also grew as a person, discovering much about herself and her life’s path. After earning her Bachelor of Sciences degree in Foods and Nutrition, MeGzz moved to Portland, Oregon, where she has embraced all the beauty, positivity, and inspiration that the NorthWest has to offer.
Since arriving in Portland, she has expanded her hoop practices to incorporate elements of Qi Gong and meditation to create an extremely unique, centering, and fun style of dance. She always focuses on inspiring those around her and eventually felt the urge to share the bliss the hoop has brought her, so she began teaching classes within the community. Groovin MeGzz has also been fortunate enough to perform around the country with EOTO (Michael Travis and Jason Hann from String Cheese Incident) as well as at many private events. She is constantly pursuing performance opportunities where she can push the boundaries to create exciting new visual productions.
Aside from the hoop, MeGzz is extremely passionate about nutrition, fitness, and supporting local organic foods. Ultimately, she would love to become a Registered Dietician and be able to incorporate hoopdance into her therapeutic methods. She is extremely thankful for all the happiness, love, grace, and euphoria that the Hoop has brought her, and she knows that she is exactly where she is meant to be – inside the Circle.
