Lawrence Roy

Hoop dancing has been a lifelong engagement for Lawrence Roy Jr. Born in Saskatoon and a member of Little Pine First Nation, his mother was instrumental in his development, investing from an early age with gymnastics lessons and Wushu. He learned Hoop Dancing in elementary school, joined a hoop dance troupe, began to travel the powwow circuit, and has never looked back. Lawrence now dances with 30 hoops, has performed all over the country, and teaches Hoop Dancing as part of school programming and in community centres.
