Amy was first inspired to wow audiences in 2000, when she was living in Santa Cruz, CA, and she learned how to firedance. This naturally led her to the hoop and soon after she began to dance on stilts. In 2000 she co-founded the fire troupe Nocturnal Sunshine in Santa Cruz, CA, and after that she spent 5 years as a part of Pyrosutra Incendiary Dance in Seattle, WA.
Since then she has been hooping it up all around the west coast, inspiring people to have fun and get fit. She moved to Portland and joined MarchFourth in 2006 and currently teaches hula hoop classes around Portland. She also works as a legal assistant.
Amy has shared the stage with many other fantastic bands, including Vagabond Opera, Samarabalouf, the String Cheese Incident, Zilla, the Everyone Orchestra, and Railroad Earth.
