Damn Danielle – Fire & LED Performer

Clear professional communication from the start. When you reach out I'll ask the right questions about your event, venue and audience so we can land on the right performance options together whether that's fire, LED, roaming entertainment or a fully choreographed show.

Once booked you can expect timely responses, help with timelines and logistics, coordination with your venue if needed, professional setup and breakdown and a performance tailored to your event style and audience. I make the entertainment side of your event as straightforward as possible to manage.

Fire performances always include a trained fire safety professional on site and all props and equipment are carefully maintained and inspected. You are responsible for securing any required open flame or special effects permit from your local authority but I provide all supporting documentation and will walk you through the process.

I'm Danielle Weiler, a professional fire performer and LED performer based in St. Paul, MN. I've been working as a fire dancer and flow arts entertainer since 2017 and have performed at city contracts, festivals, corporate events, weddings, private parties and parades across Minnesota and the Midwest.

My performance repertoire is one of the most varied you'll find. I work with poi (weighted balls on cords and one of the most versatile fire props in existence), hoops, rope dart (a weighted dart on a long cord that creates sweeping arcs of light and fire), contact staff (a staff balanced and rolled across the body), double staff, light whip (a long flexible LED prop that cracks and waves like a whip), juggling balls, juggling torches, juggling clubs, single and double and triple hoop flow, sword, meteor (two weighted ends on a single cord spun at high speed), puppyhammer, dapostar and flowstar (geometric spinning props that create kaleidoscopic light patterns) and silk poi.

I also perform with a small collection of specialty props that most performers simply don't have. The flaming fire heart, flaming sword, flaming pentacle and fire crown are pieces that photograph and film beautifully and tend to stop people mid-conversation. My programmable LED props are also capable of displaying custom images and client logos in motion which makes them a strong fit for corporate events, branded activations and sponsorship moments where visual identity matters.

That range means I can tailor the format to your event whether you need elegant ambient entertainment for a cocktail hour, a high-impact feature performance as a grand finale or anything in between.

I'm based in the Twin Cities and book primarily throughout Minnesota with travel available. If your event calls for more than a solo act I'm connected to a professional network of fire and LED performers and can coordinate duo acts, group shows or full productions. No need for multiple vendors; I can help put the right team together.

For fire performances I need a minimum clear performance area of 6 feet by 6 feet with no low-hanging branches, no flammable materials nearby, no dry grass and adequate distance from guests. Outdoor or well-ventilated spaces only.

LED performances are considerably more flexible and work well indoors or in any space where fire performance isn't possible. Not sure which fits your venue? Reach out and I'll point you in the right direction.
