Chelsea Ryan lives in Oklahoma City and wants to spread the joy of learning through Circus Art!

In the spring of 2015, Chelsea Ryan decided to teach herself to ride a unicycle. With the enthusiasm and determination of a child who still believes nothing is impossible, she achieved this goal in a few short weeks. Little did she know, this endeavor was a gateway into another world, the magical world of circus art.

Since then, Chelsea has become skilled in many circus disciplines that require balance, strength, and coordination. She is now proficient in unicycling, stilts, juggling, rola bola, and hoops, and can even perform combinations of many of these at once. However, her main passions and best skills are the Hoops and the Cyr Wheel.

Chelsea is not only the first Cyr Wheel artist from Oklahoma, but also the 2018 USA Wheel Gymanastics National Champion for Women in Cyr Wheel, after only 10 months of training.

As of 2019, her business, Hooplahoma, consists of interactive circus play and performances at a variety of events in and around Oklahoma. Hooplahoma has been a part of festivals, private parties, concerts, fundraising events, and holiday celebrations.
