Performances & Events

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 for hoop dance and fire performances at numerous events including 2012 Governor’s Arts Awards, SouthSide Works Exposed, Discover Presque Isle, Splash Lagoon, Celebrate Erie, Emma's Footprints, Erie Zoo and the Warner Theater. Lake Effect Hoop Troop over the years has transformed into Jennifer Dennehy & Fire Friends since there is more interest in fire performances.
