Bornfire Festival 2015- Hoopaholic Cebu goes to Singapore

I was extremely delighted to have been invited to bring the hoop love to our neighbors in Singapore for their annual Bornfire Festival on July 31 till August 2. Between selling Hoopaholic Cebu merchandise, teaching hooping, and performing for both the mainstage and openstage, my intinerary was fully booked for the entire weekend.

Workshops

The last two days of the festival was packed with non-stop workshops by guests from different parts of the globe including Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, France, Italy, Japan, and the United States of America. The world is suddenly a smaller place at the Bornfire Festival.

 Performances

When the lights go out the show begins. Bornfire Festival 2015 had 3 stages prepared: Mainstage, openstage, and the battlestage. Each stage bought a unique set of talents that inspired, entertained, and captivated the audience.

Performing for the Bornfire mainstage came with a lot of pressure, but it was nonetheless a dream come true. Thanks for having me, Bornfire Singpaore! till we meet again.
