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."
