Performers & Dancers with a Holiday Theme

Do you need performers to light up your celebration with a specific theme?  We are happy to coordinate with your event planner to match your needs, such as style, performances and special colours.  We even have LED props and costumes that we can tailor to your theme.

Christmas

Need some red and white at your holiday festivities?  We have plenty of hoops to match the dancing hoop elves.  We have roaming hoop characters, choreographed hoop dances, and glow shows all in the theme.

Fire and Ice Shows

When January comes along, people in northern climates start dreaming of fire in the middle of all the ice.  Fire & Ice shows are a popular theme for mid-winter parties so we came up with an original circus performance to showcase the best of both worlds.  Using real fire, and LED “ice” props, two characters battle it out to see who deserves to reign over the land.

This fire and ice show is choreographed to music and uses multiple fire props, LED hoops, the amazing visual poi featuring your logo or special messages plus an amazing fire duet finale.

Fire Dancing Safety Information

Fire Dancing Safety Information 2019 (PDF download)

Getting the most out of this amazing performance style!

Fire dancing is a great way to add sparkle to any occasion!  We take safety very seriously and come equipped and prepared. Here are our recommendations and requirements to keep every event safe and secure.

Requirements

Outdoor Fire Performance

  • A minimum performance space of 12 feet by 12 feet (~3.5 meters).
  • Outdoor fire performances can be on your stage, or we can set up our own area on grass or pavement.
  • If the stage has a cover it should be at least 12 feet high, and be mindful of blowing fabric or flags that might enter into the area.

Indoor Fire Performance

  • 12X12 feet minimum floor space
  • Minimum ceiling height of 12 feet and reasonable ventilation in the room.
  • Hardwood or tile flooring is preferable to carpet.
  • A room or relatively secure space where we can prepare and store our extra tools during the performance.

What We Provide

  • A paid, trained fire safety assistant on hand for the entire show
  • Insured performers (2, 000, 0000 liability)
  • Extra insurance certificate for your venue on request
  • Fire blankets and wet towels for extinguishing props on cue
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Properly stored fuel
  • Smokeless fuel blend for sensitive smoke alarms

Additional Considerations:

Some fire props require more space than others, so, for instance, if you have a smaller venue, we might recommend you have fire poi for a performance, instead of a fire hoop. Contact us for more details and for a list of props we use.

 

We will arrive one hour prior to performance time to check in and ensure everything goes smoothly.  We look forward to dancing for you!
