Keyboardist-drummer-producer Asha Santee (BOOM) and vocalist-songwriter Jennifer Patience Rowe (scat) came together in the fall of 2012. They have since released their first mixtape, The Trilogy, performed at several venues in Chicago on their “Peace & Body Roll Tour” and gained support from gospel music legend Richard Smallwood.

During their residency at Joe’s Movement Emporium, they present a Hoop Jam, a Community Sing and a Showing and Conversation.

Noelle Powers and the Peace and Body Roll Duo of BOOMscat pair up for a rolling evening of movement and music.

This is a Hoola Hoop Jam to lift your spirits and get a full body workout accompanied by a super hoop-friendly soundtrack. All ages and skill levels are welcome at this drop-in jam.

A lesson for those interested is presented in the first half hour of the jam, and the remaining hour is self-directed, with movement troubleshooting available as desired. Joe’s provides the hoops or feel free to bring your own. Hoops for sale on site as well. Poi and other flow arts are also welcome. Hosted by Joe’s resident hoopdancer, Noelle Powers.
