Cora-Sol is the alter ego and stage presence of flow artist and fire dancer, Coraima Rae. Based out of Hartford Connecticut, Cora-Sol has been performing professionally for the last five years providing visually captivating and immersive experiences for audiences all around. Coraima, (otherwise known as "Cora") has carried a deep spiritual connection to movement and creative expression since childhood.

In her younger years, Cora spent time participating in a local salsa dance group where she performed in competitions and parades in Connecticut. As a teenager, Cora attended high school at the "Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts" where she studied various art-forms such as creative writing and musical theater, which encompassed dance (hip-hop, ballet, jazz) singing, and character acting. During her time in high school, Cora took a few classes in jewelry and costume making, which eventually led to her creating her own looks and costumes for her performances, years later. She also has experience working in technical theater where she learned how to work stage lighting/sound, set and stage prop designing and creating. After high school, Cora continued her creative and expressive journey discovering prop dance along the way and developing a name for herself as a professional stage performer. In 2017, she joined "The What Collective" where she began her transition into a flow artist and performed for her first musical festival.

Today, as an independent artist, Cora can be found performing locally and regionally under the stage name Cora-Sol. Cora has the intrinsic ability to transform the atmosphere, adapt to almost any musical rhythm and converge it with her own unique style to create a one-of-a-kind performance that will be sure to draw in any crowd. She offers a wide variety of performance styles and themed shows for audiences of any age range.

More room is always better. Gigs in the past have been performed on stages as small as 5'x6' for LED performing but raised platforms or any type of enclosed space between 8'x8' or 10'x10' or larger is preferred. If providing my own music for a performance, it is important that I have access to a sound system to connect or plug into. USB access works best.

Fire gigs are most preferable outside. However it is possible for indoor fire performance in large well ventilated areas, but indoor venues will require an inspection by the local Fire Marshall for approval. Depending on the location, a permit may be required for the venue as well. In an outdoor performance, a barricade/perimeter that separates the performance area and the audience needs to be established between 10' and 15'. A safety will always be in attendance at all fire gigs. A designated/enclosed area is needed for fuel placement and access away from audience and performance area.
