Thank you, Patika for teaching such a great
hoop workshop! It was so fun and everyone keeps on
telling me that they really enjoyed themselves.
It means a lot to me and it made my birthday
really special. Just what I needed. I would love to have you come back and teach another crowd of ladies sometime. Perhaps once I moe to Durham, we'll have a new audience. Thanks again, you're awesome.

    Patika was at first that mysterious fire dancer I could never manage to track down. The more I get to know her now, the more respect and admiration I gain for her interaction with her art, her passion and her pleasure. Put truly, the pleasure is all mine - watching... and learning... how one can turn a life into a livelihood. And the only side effect? Being too busy. Ah well, I am sure I will survive upon only my occasion glances and glimpse of a diva at work.

about me
I try to always be myself and I hope to inspire others to do the same. I love life and I hope to help make a difference in the world.
As style goes; I prefer not to be labeled as having a specific one. I choose to fuse my many inspirations together and create my own style.
I try to always stay open to change my point of refrence as far as my beliefs go; as I feel the world is too vast for any of us to really truley know anything.
Although, I do not always suceed; I try very hard to practice non judgement and allow everyone to follow there own paths at there own speed.
