JoAnna’s fire dance performance at our Dance Medicine event at Trilogy Sanctuary was absolutely mesmerizing. Performing on our rooftop beneath the stars to a packed house, she brought an incredible combination of professionalism, artistry, confidence, and a beautifully sultry energy to the experience. Her first performance integrated seamlessly with the live music, creating this powerful, almost hypnotic connection between movement, fire, and sound.
On the same night, she did a second performance for another packed audience and completely captivated us all over again. She has a rare ability to bring sensuality and presence to her performance while keeping it elegant, tasteful, and deeply artistic.
She was truly a highlight of the evening! Come back soon :)

What to expect
I offer captivating fire performances featuring a variety of props, including fans, poi, rope dart, and palm torches. I also perform with LED poi, which can be booked as a standalone performance or paired with fire for events where both are appropriate. Ambient roaming/fire greeting is available in addition to choreographed stage performances.
Each choreographed performance is approximately 4 minutes long, and multiple performances can be scheduled throughout your event if desired. I can offer up to 6 performance acts per event.
Solo performances or collaborations with other performers also available.
I love creating immersive experiences and am happy to customize my music, movement style, and costuming to complement your event’s theme or aesthetic.
Whether you’re hosting a festival, wedding, corporate event, private party, or special celebration, my goal is to create a performance that is both visually striking and memorable for your guests.
Professional safety protocols are followed for all fire performances. My performances are suitable for indoor LED performances and outdoor fire performances (venue permitting).
