A bubble is simple, yet profound. No one can own a bubble. It belongs to all of us. When I make that big bubble and everyone says “Wow!” that’s the awareness of connection and clarity that transcends barriers of race, ethnicity, and socio-economics. Once we know we’re connected, it becomes harder to dehumanize others, and we begin to evolve and see the world differently. 

​– Sandy Snakenberg, Bubble World Founder

A little about our founder

For the past 25 plus years, Sandy has been and is a speed skating coach and a coach of functional strength conditioning for beginner to Olympic class athletes; he also works with those of special needs. Before coaching he was a chef, and has held two world records in speed skating, as well as gaining other athletic accolades that could fill a book. He has since added bubble artistry to his resume.

“Lessons of the Bubble” is about Sandy's journey and lessons learned not just from the bubbles but from his observations of others when exposed or re-exposed to their magic.

The 1999 24-hr Inline Speed Skating World Record Holder, now turned coach.  Sandy Snakenberg has recently earned his title as a "Bubbleologist". As a bubble artist, Sandy performs In locations around the world.
