Overview
Insured Fire or LED stage performance. I'm personally proficient with: Poi, Nunchacku, Three Section Staff, Swords, Double Staffs, Contact Staff, Rope Dart, Whips etc. Though I also source talent from other performers I work with. We can create custom shows to your desire. We also do event organization and can help in other aspects of your event planning.
A typical show can be anywhere from one 15 minute set with 1 person, to multiple sets broken up over an hour or more with up to 5 plus performers. Minimum show is one performer for 15 min/3 props at $450. The Quote range depends entirely of the scope of your imagination when it comes to how big of a spectacle you would like to have put on!

I hired Ken and his team of fire dancers for my wedding, and they were absolutely phenomenal! Ken was not only amazing and fun to work with but also deeply understood my vision for the event. We wanted both the masculine and feminine elements represented through fire dancing, and Ken perfectly achieved this balance by choosing an incredible female performer who was just as amazing as he was. The live performance was even more spectacular than any of his recorded videos, truly capturing the energy and excitement of the moment. Every guest was mesmerized by the show, making our special day even more unforgettable. Ken's professionalism, creativity, and ability to deliver a spectacular performance that surpasses expectations have us brainstorming another event just to see him perform again! I highly recommend Ken for anyone looking for entertainment that will wow your guests. He’s truly the go-to! Do not wait! Hire Ken!

Thank you so much for the outstanding review! I'm so flattered!☺️ I hope you had a splendid honeymoon and I'm excited to perform again for the next event you have! And omg yes I totally need someone to help me edit some videos to better represent how good a show can look live vs just posting totally unedited videos from a camera set up on a tripod lol 😆
Fireborn performers were unbelievable!! The uniqueness of their act coupled with their stellar performance and unbelievably great attitude performing in God awful weather had many people come to me with their praises! They were very engaging with the crowd and left the little ones awestruck!!! I'm am so happy I found them!
Thank you! Thank You! Thank you Ken & all!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the great review and kind words! It means allot to hear how much we brightened up everyone's cloudy rainy day and were the talk of the parade! It warms our hearts in return! <3
Looking forward to future events together! =)
From the moment we reached out to them as a possible entertainment choice for our New Year's Eve party, Sam and Kenny were both easy and enthusiastic to deal with. They were amenable towards working with our party's theme (a classic 70s/80s/90s rock n' roll party) and went faaaaar beyond our expectations, not only dressing in the appropriate costuming but performing with a playlist they themselves selected, one which caught the theme and the spirit of the evening with complete perfection.
After greeting our guests with an outdoor fire spinning show (in the rain, and never the once complaining or demurring from the challenge), they moved the action inside, moving about on the dance floor, Sam on stilts and Kenny on foot, performing LED juggling and interacting with our guests. Given that our dance floor is the rough flagstone of a castle's great hall, with roughly 60-80 guests on the floor that night at any given time, this was a challenge to say the least for a stiltwalker. And yet Sam met that challenge with a devil-may-care grin, never the once complaining. A true professional.
These two men did not only entertain: they set the mood for the night, making for a festive, convivial, and most importantly, FUN event that has had our guests raving for over the past several days now!!!
Easy to work with, skilled in their craft, personable and engaging with guests, and just plain down-to-earth and free of pretense: We are already hoping/planning to hire Fireborn on for two to three events we have coming up this 2023 season, and heartily & enthusiastically encourage others to do the same! Worth every penny, and no regrets.
What else can we say? Fireborn Performance Arts is nothing less than a REVELATION!!!!

Wow! Thank you so much for the in depth and flattering review! It means the world to us!
I'm glad to hear the guests had as much fun as we did!
Absolutely looking forward to being regular performers at the castle and possibly even bringing in other types of talent when you wanna switch it up like jugglers or aerialists etc. =)

I wanted to take a moment to share our incredible experience with Ken and Fireborn Performance Arts during our recent Hanukkah celebration at Young Israel of West Hartford.
From start to finish, Ken exceeded our expectations. His communication skills were excellent, and he took the time to Zoom with us to brainstorm ideas for the performance, including music and theme adjustments. The final product was nothing short of spectacular! Inspired by the Maccabees theme for Hanukkah, Ken's performance featured an exhilarating flaming sword fight with another performer, which captivated our audience of approximately 150 attendees. Everyone was riveted, and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive.
Moreover, we were thrilled to see our event featured on NBC Connecticut! You can check out the coverage here: [https://youtu.be/RiAogdbAtDU?si=E2msvnqI_A-8_aFd].
Ultimately, we could not recommend Ken and Fireborn Performance Arts highly enough. His dedication to ensuring a memorable event was truly unmatched. We give him a solid 10 out of 10!

Ken and associate Brad did a fantastic Game of Thrones themed fire performance for my birthday party. Ken was very quick to respond to my questions. The performance was great, some humor, great choice of music, totally fit the theme! I would highly recommend him for any event. My guests loved it.

We recently celebrated my boyfriend's 50th Birthday, he is a Game of Thrones fan and I thought - why not have fire dancers?! I felt fortunate to find Fireborn Performance Arts! Upon the first inquiry - they were responsive, and when I told them he was a Game of Thrones Fan, they got even more excited to perform! He brought a colleague, prepared with custom music to outfits! If you are looking for something different and unique for an event, I highly recommend Fireborn Performance Arts! :)

Thabsk again for choosing Fireborn Performance Arts!
Fireborn did an excellent job performing for our students, they were extremely acceptive of the limitations of performing within one of our campus buildings, and created an LED show for us. We will definitely seek to work with them again!

Thanks for the review Kim! It was a fun performance on the beach front! Great crowd! Looking forward to coming back with a whole group next time!
We hired Kenny to perform his feats for my father-in-law’s 75th birthday. He was delighted and the whole family was entertained and wowed by the gorgeous and mesmerizing performance of Kenny’s various feats with fire: dancing, juggling, spinning, etc. Kenny was a consulate professional: attentive, communicative, a good listener, accommodating and flexible. What a wonderful person to work with. Kenny was gracious and stayed after the performance to answer questions. We highly recommend hiring Fireborn Arts to enchant & thrill your guests and make your next event a magical one. Thank you, Kennny!

I want to say that I never leave reviews but Kenny definitely deserves this! I was worried all day about it raining on my event, we do have a small tent, but not big enough for a fire performance. Kenny was super accommodating and even honored a rain date! But the weather ended up clearing and it was perfect. As soon as he came he was ready to go! The performance was amazing! He even danced to foreign music flawlessly. 100000/10 would recommend. Just book him already!

Thank you so much! What an amazing review! It means the world to me, it really does! <3
Also I loved the music you played, perfect for fire performance! What part of the world was it from exactly? I was trying to guess on my ride home lol.
We wanted to have a fun surprise for the kids since we couldn't travel for the vacation we originally planned so we hired Fireborn to come to our house and perform in the driveway. We invited our neighbor and everyone sat at a safe distance. It was a lot of fun. Kenny and his assistant were very nice, showed up on time and delivered an entertaining show as promised. He is very talented and everyone had a great time. I would recommend him for small and large venues as his performance was captivating. He used different props for each burn to keep attention and it worked.

We uploaded it to gig salad so you can view it easily. Check it out in our promo kit video section.
Thanks again! May you have a great rest of the summer!

What to Expect
We offer fire/LED shows using props such as poi, staff, sword, hoop, fans, three section staff, double staffs,flow wand,rope dart, fire breathing, fire eating and more! You decide what kind of show you want! Customize the theme for your fire show, what props you wanna see (depends on performers available), how many performers and how long a show etc. We can choreograph shows for you or you or we can just free flow to some live music if that's what you want, it's all up to you!
We make safety our top priority! We use only highly experienced and confident fire performers for our fire performances.

Indoor performances may require a fire permit from local Fire Marshall. With due notice we can help in acquiring the needed permit in time for the event.
About
I've been a Fire Dancer for 10 years. Performing with various troupes, including one I helped found and run that's since disbanded. (Formerly known as Flow Theory Fire)
Now a free lancer I dance with friends fire troupes or take small gigs as they come. No longer tied to one group of performers, I van now source talent from my broad spectrum of performer, musician and artist friends for a wider verity of performance options.
I'm also an event organizer (that's a different biography though) and am able to help organize your event and provide a PA system if needed.
Additional Booking Notes
We need at least a 10x10 space for our performance and a staging zone for our fuel station.
