Marley Star with Christabel Zamor, Founder of “Hoop Girl” and Hoop Dance/Fitness pioneer…

Welcome to Spinfinity Dance and Creations!

I’m Marley Star…I’ve been a dancer and roller skater for my whole life. As a young girl, I studied Ballet, Tap Dancing, Jazz and Acrobatics. This led to an interest in Cheerleading. I discovered spinning in high school, where, as the Captain of the cheerleading squad, my friend in the marching band, Chuck Patterson, taught me how to spin a rifle and flag during practice breaks. I was hooked, and spent my last two years of high school on the marching band Color Guard.

After high school, I became interested in Circus Arts, and learned the art of clowning. As a guest clown in Clyde Beatty and Cole Bros. Circus and the Great American Circus, I was introduced to the art of Fire Performance, and soon began doing my own shows with fire torches.

As a dancer/choreographer I traveled for six years, specializing in roller dancing, jazz and hip hop, and even did some break dancing and performed “Riverdance” inspired Irish dancing routines. My favorite performances, though, were always the fire shows.

I discovered Fire Staff next, which was very much like spinning a color guard flag, and then Fire Fans, Poi, and, most recently, Fire Hoops.

I was introduced to Hoop Dancing when I worked for Brandon Huston. His business, The Spinsterz, supplies much of the lovely fire and spin gear that dancers enjoy all over the world. I was interested in Poi spinning, but seeing Brandon hoop dance captivated me, and I felt compelled to spend more and more time inside that magical vortex to see if I could break into that special place where Hoop Dancing seemed to set people free…

My friend Melissa Magic was the first person to teach me the basic hoop dance moves, and I fell in love with the physical grace, creativity and special energetic wisdom that Hoop Dancing added to my dance repetoire. The Hoop changed my life, and took my dancing ability to a completely different level! I am so happy to be able to share the beautiful art of Hoop Dancing with other people by teaching the licensed “Hoop Girl” classes and workouts…I also enjoy bellydancing, yoga and Nia.

The saddest times in my life have been when I wasn’t dancing every day. My fondest wish for everyone in the world is that they will be able to do the thing that they love the most of all each day, and that their belief in themselves and their chosen path will grow with every step they take towards living the most honest and loving life they can.

Cheers!
