Beautiful soul

Ally is a lovely person and I would highly recommend her for any event that calls for a fire dancer.

BEST decision

Alley hoops truly went above and beyond for her performance at my wedding. My wedding was small and intimate and I wanted more of a "dinner and a show" feel rather than a classic traditional wedding. Booking alley was the best decision I could have made. All my guests went from "having a nice time" to HYPE solely because of her performance. My two year old nephew gripping my hand, bouncing with glee, and whispering in awe into my ear "ooooo dragon people" is a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life.
Communication and punctuality with alley was on point. She even brought a second performer and fire Marshall for safety even though that wasn't part of our original agreement. Thank you so much, alley!! You really made our night.

Anyone out there reading this- book alley if you get the chance!

Mariel,

It was such a joy to be there for you and your loved ones on such a special day. It was so much fun seeing them light up at an unforgettable show. I appreciate you so much for taking time to write this review. For a performer endorsements like this are the best gauges a future client has of the act they are booking. I appreciate you taking the time to give me such a glowing review. May you have many, many years of happiness ahead.

Booking information

Price range: $200 - $750

Languages: English

Gig length: 10 - 60 minutes

Insurance: $1,000,000 - Specialty Insurance Agency

What to expect

I can adapt our shows to fit every client's needs, which range from Burlesque to Kid friendly (PG) with costumes to match. And can also include fire performances if the venue allows. I am fully insured, and can also offer both ambient packages and full stage performances. I have the ability to pull from 3 local troupes I perform with regularly to make this a 2 ring circus for extra cost! You may not even need to look elsewhere for entertainment!

Here is a look at what we bring to the table:
Long Aerial Silks (requires multiple performer booking)
Aerial Hammock (Requires multiple performer booking)
Aerial Hoop (Lyra)
Fire Aerials
Fire Eating and Breathing
Fire or LED Hula Hoops
Fire or LED Fans
A Unique Blend of Fire Dance Props

Most package quotes sent will be for a standard outside fire performance for the time range listed in your quote. I honestly prefer to custom build

About

Alley Hoops, founder of Tennessee's own Ethereal Embers fire troupe as well as prop maker What The Flow, fell in love with the flow arts from the moment she picked up a hoop. Alley is passionate about the intersection of fire, kinetic movement, and dance, and burlesque is the next frontier in her ever growing repertoire of performance techniques. Alley integrates elements of her flow technique, pole dancing, and her own intense energy into a unique and mesmerizing performance that is always centered on the audience but springs from her creative center.

Influences and inspiration

I was first influenced by Cirque du Soleil, their beautiful performances sparked in me a desire to chase my dreams.
Beyond Wings Circus, Cirque de Lights, Singe City, Circus Combustus, Chattanooga Fire Cabaret, and Ethereal Embers are all circus troupes that fuel my creativity.

Setup requirements

Fire Performance: Alley Hoops will provide all safety equipment

Fire Performance: A low traffic location in which to store the fuel and fire props during the performance.

Fire Performance: The stage area for fire spinning must be at minimum 15 feet away from the fuel/prop storage location.

Fire Performance: I will bring one person to be my fire safety for the performance.
