Two talented Indigenous performers will share their skill and culture in this performance with Q & A after.
Eric Hernandez has performed around the world in Cirque du Soleil's TOTEM and in many other venues. Eric says, "As a Native hoop dancer, I am passionate about sharing my culture and art form with the world. I am a member of the Lumbee tribe and have been performing and teaching hoop dancing for several years. Hoop dancing is not just a performance, but a way to connect with the natural world and honor the traditions of my ancestors. Through my performances, I hope to inspire and educate others about the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans."
Cooper Nez, age 10, represents the next generation of Indigenous hoop dancers. Cooper Nez is Irish and Diné (Kinłichii’nii, born for the Redhouse clan). He resides in Mesa, AZ and is from Kayenta, AZ, near the foothills of Black Mesa. Cooper has been hoop dancing for 2 years. He enjoys dancing for family and the community.
