LAKE EFFECT HOOP TROOP (LEHT)

In January 2012, Jennifer Dennehy founded Lake Effect Hoop Troop. It began as a place for local hoopers in Erie, PA to come together and create choreographed dances and to explore structured improv within the hoop. Jennifer envisioned a group who collaborated and worked together to increase each individuals skill level and to teach our community about the value of its performing artists, specifically its dancers. As a result, the community in Erie, PA and the surrounding region have embraced LEHT and have hired them to perform at numerous events including 2012 Governor's Arts Awards and SouthSide Works Exposed.

Occasionally we bring in visiting guests to perform with us from surrounding areas or Jennifer's hoop dance students, Junior Lake Effect Hoop Troop.
