There are a lot of different types of fire performers you can book, with varying talents and abilities. Some fire shows will include a mix of all types of fire performers, while others might specialize in just one. There are fire breathers and fire eaters, as well as fire dancers. Fire dancers are the most common and probably what comes to mind first when picturing a fire show – twirling ignited objects such as poi, batons, and hula hoops.
On average, professional fire performers charge $250-$350 for short 30-minute performances. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the performance, the complexity of the show, and the dancer’s experience or skill level.
For an additional cost, many fire entertainment companies offer full fire shows. This might include a mix of jaw-dropping fire dancing, fire breathing, and fire eating combined with non-fire acts like live music and hula dancers.
The amount of space you’ll need for a fire show depends on the specific performers you end up hiring. Dance performances often involved a lot of spinning and large movements, so they require more room than a solo fire eater or fire breather. Regardless of the type of performer, when dealing with fire you want to make sure there’s enough space for your guests to remain a safe distance away.
You should plan for a minimum of 12x12 feet of space for a solo performer. And if the event is indoors, the ceiling should be at least 16-18 feet tall. You should discuss all of these parameters with your fire performer before booking to make sure you’ll be able to accommodate their needs.
As long as you have enough space and the proper safety precautions are taken, you can book a fire performance for an indoor event. Your venue will need tall ceilings over the performance area and ample room for them to perform and remain at a safe distance from your guests.
Before you book a fire performer for an indoor performance, discuss with both the entertainer and the venue to ensure everyone is on board and knows the limitations and requirements. Some venues might require certain permits for hosting a fire show.
On GigSalad, fire performers are most commonly requested for 30 minutes. Though some performers will perform in shorter 5-10 minute sets with breaks in between. If your event requires longer performances, consider hiring multiple fire performers or a complete fire show so they can share the load.
Fire performers are most often booked for festivals, Hawaiian luaus, beach parties, or all types of outdoor celebrations. You can also hire a fire dancer or performer to add a unique flair to a wedding reception or bring some heat to a stuffy corporate event.
