December 16, 2025Great DJ'a
Paris came to my rescue at the last minute as a DJ for our company holiday party. They even brought a snow machine! There was a small technical issue with a couple of the speakers not working, but it didn't affect the vibe of the party at all.

Sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you get so much more!!!
I am so pleased with Leyla & Paris - OMG we had a great time. From the moment we visited on the phone to the moment they showed up at my event I have been so pleased with their service. I am extremely confident in my recommendation that Leyla & Paris with provide a stellar event based on your requests. I hope I can turn them into cowboys for my event next year!!!!

What to expect
A Performance (bellydance, world dances, fire, LED, Etc…) would be anywhere between 15 min - 1.5 hours depending on the circumstances a client desires. We can break up the shows into 15-20 minute mini shows that also helps keep the audience stay engaged if this is a longer event and many people are coming and going from the event.
For our fire shows, all of our performers are licensed and insured and our fire safeties have extensive fire safety training. We maintain a safe space during our fire shows for performers and audience members. Most shows include myself, PyroParis or many other talent artists interacting with each other. We can do small shows with only 2 fire performers or up to 15 fire performers. We can add in some of our flame cannons (we own 4 of them and they shoot 10' and up) and/or cold sparks (we own 4 of them and they shoot 10' and up). Leyla and PyroParis are both licensed flame operators and run these for concerts and music videos. Some of our fire shows can include audience interaction. All public fire shows will require a fire permit and that will be quoted separately for the local jurisdiction. Each jurisdiction has different rates for fire permits.
We have LED tools we have trained with for years. I will create a stunning visual experience with awe-inspiring movements designed to show expertise and passion of the LED tools. All at the same time maintain a safe environment for everyone involved in and around the performance.
Bellydance and/or Renaissance shows: these shows are generally created to be 30 minutes long with interactive storytelling, dancing and audience participation. In audience participation we teach some dance technique or props. These shows are great for all ages and large public events like Renaissance shows, 1001 night theme events, corporate events, etc…. We create a show lineup to the clients needs and tailor it to the theme. We can dance on a stage or on an open dance floor. These shows are usually have about 15 dancers that are trained in that specific dance style.
Circus Variety show - these shows are generally created to be 30 minutes long with interactive storytelling, dancing and audience participation. In audience participation we teach may have them engage in some magic, dance or props. These shows are great for all ages and large public events like state fairs, circus themed show, or corporate events, etc…. We create a show line up to the clients needs and tailor it to the theme. We can dance on a stage or on an open dance floor. These shows can include aerial, depending on what the needs are and location we may have a height requirement. The show is usually about 6-15 circus performers that are trained in that specific cirque style. Can include aerial; silks, lyra, cube, spiral, chandelier, and/or lollipop apparatus.
Sway pole - This has height requirements. If indoors we need at least 25' ceiling height and if used outdoors the temperature needs to be 65 degrees or warmer. The base is 20' x 20' square.
Stiltwalking - If hiring us for Stiltwalking characters we stilt from 2-4 hours with 10 min breaks each hour. We also require a ground stilt safety crew to be with us. We have regular costumes and LED costumes; see our pictures for examples.
Ground characters - this can be anything from LED ambiance, clowning, to cowboys teaching audience to rope and do rope tricks. Let us know what you are looking for.
Fire Canons and Cold Sparks - Leyla and PyroParis are both licensed flame operators and run these for concerts and music videos. Fire permits need to be pulled and that will be quoted separately for each jurisdiction has different rates for fire permits.
We are also not limited to only performances classes can be offered to all ages to share our love of flow arts. We can offer our services to most events who are in need depending on circumstances discussed with the client.
Some of the services we provide:
1. Safe environment
2. Choregraphed Fire Show (If more than one fire artist performs)
3. We can provide our own speakers - please let us know at the beginning so we can include that in bid
4. We provide our safety equipment for fire shows.
4. We can provide social media footage for advertisement for clients.
5. Classes - LED, Fire, Dance, World dances, etc…
6. Fire safety discussion/training
7. LED Show (no fire)
