Overview

I'm new to Gig Salad, but I've been dancing with fire for many years. I've had the honor of performing at large festivals as well as for small intimate gatherings. I use a variety of props including: double staves, fans, poi and palm torches. I cary specialty insurance and always take safety into consideration when performing. LED props and several other non-fire props are available in case fire is not permitted or deemed safe for the space. I'm very organized, professional and make things easy for my clients. Costumes, acts, and music can be catered to your event -- just ask! I hope we can collaborate for your next event!

What to expect

Expect me to show up about 15-20 minutes early to set up my fuel station and establish a safe performing and safety area. I will arrive in full makeup, hair and costuming, ready to entertain your guests!

I can provide a spotify playlist or I can freestyle to the event music.

For the performance itself, I will cycle through several fire props demonstrating different styles of dance, flow and technical ability. In some cases, I will be able to immediately transition from prop to prop however at some point, I will need to refuel props so there will be 2-3 minutes of dark stage between burns.

I’m able to cater my acts and performances to be family friendly or can make them a little more spicy for all adult audiences.

About

I love performing and the stage is my happy place! The energy from the crowd inspires me to do my very best work and I spend a lot of time choreographing and practicing every detail of my performances to be spot on. I've been training on aerial hoop for roughly 5 years and have been spinning fire or fire dancing for over 10 years. I have performed aerial acts with PoisNIvy Circus, and the Dragonettes in the San Francisco Bay area and the Aerial Dragons (from Florida) at burning man. I've been invited to spin fire in the great circle at burning man 4 times and have worked with 3 different conclaves including Ministry of Flow, Hawaii Fire Collective, and Aeries Fire. This past year, September of 2022 I was invited to spin fire at Lost Lands music festival with the Aerial Dragons. Designing choreography for solo acts as well as small to medium sized groups is one of my passions and I am looking forward to continuing my career as a performer.

Additional booking notes

For fire dancing acts, I will need an areas free of smoking for a fuel depot or fueling station. The area where I am performing must be free of materials that may catch fire and a minimum of 10'x10' is ideal. This ensures the safety of the crowd, venue, and myself. I provide my own fuel, fueling station, fire safety blanket for extinguishing props.

Client typically supplies sound and someone in charge of playing music, however if needed I can provide a sizable wifi bluetooth speaker for the duration of my act.
