Your Guests Won’t Remember the Food, the Music or the Decorations… They Will Remember the Entertainment!
Fiora performed a lovely and transfixing fire spinning show for the non-profit Sunday Assembly San Diego’s annual secular winter solstice party a few days ago and we are so appreciative. The feedback we got from the audience was fantastic, and you know it went well when the manager of the venue gushed about it! In the booking and planning process, Fiora was responsive and prompt, thoughtful and professional. She adjusted her routine to adapt to our time and music preferences, and knocked it out of the park. Thanks, Fiora!
A beautiful professional, kept in touch right up to my event and arrived ahead of time to make sure everything was perfect. Our guests loved her, she was the hit of the party!
FIORA was AMAZING!!! She performed at our wedding in May. She was one of the highlights at our wedding. The guests absolutely LOVED her. She is very easy to work with and know that she put her heart in this work. She is thoughtful and makes sure everything goes smoothly during the performance! She is WONDERFUL. If you are uncertain whether or not to book her, JUST DO IT!
Who is Fiora Firefly?
Fiora began performing as a fire dancer in 2006 and has since expanded her range to include over a dozen fire disciplines. She has performed at festivals, fundraisers, family, community, and corporate events, using fire, LED, other non-fire props and even making appearances as a live mermaid. Her crowd stopping performances never fail to thrill an audience.
Is Fire Dancing Safe?
That’s the burning question on any new client’s mind. (Pun intended.) Fiora is a proven, safe professional, who takes every precaution to ensure that the illusion of danger is maintained, while keeping the actual risks to an absolute minimum. Trained in fire safety by a retired firefighter, she has worked closely with fire chiefs and marshals in Utah and throughout southern California. She’s certified in fire safety by the Flow Arts Institute, and adheres strictly to International Fire Performer Safety Organizations’ rules of conduct. She maintains an spotless safety track record, and a $5 million insurance policy that protects the client, property, and audience. She understands that you may be initially concerned about having fire as entertainment and welcomes any questions you may have about proper fire safety protocols.
Different Styles Of Performance To Make Your Event Unforgettable!
Fire Dancers For Hire
Fire Dancing is a contemporary circus art, combining the elemental beauty of fire with the visual appeal of juggling, and the grace and passion of dance. Fire Dancers leap, whirl and groove to music while manipulating objects such as hula hoops and classic martial arts weaponry (all aflame!) into stunning patterns of light. This breathtaking form of entertainment is guaranteed to bring the “wow factor” to any event.
LED Dancers For Hire
Is your an indoor event? Many indoor venues are suitable for fire, depending on ventilation, amount of space and other considerations. Is fire prohibited at your venue? For those where fire is considered unsafe, or prohibited for other reasons, Fiora offers high-powered LED performances that paint the night with “digital fire.”
Prop Dancers for hire
Atmospheric Prop Dance Performance. For daytime and well lit indoor events,these vignettes are performed with metallic performance props. Performers dance while manipulating hoops, batons, and more into constantly changing geometric patterns to create a visual feast of your DJ’s or band’s music.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
San Diego, CA. is home base, but I often travel to perform at events.
How much does a show cost?
That depends on the package you choose. For complete details, including pricing, simply fill out this quick and easy form here.
Can a fire show take place indoors?
While there are elements to be considered (eg safety, alarms, ventilation, etc,) many indoor venues are suitable for fire shows. Where fire is not safe, I offer LED and other non-fire performance options. Please call for a consultation before booking an indoor fire show.
What are the technical requirements for the performance?
All performances require a green room for breaks, costuming and makeup touch-ups, and drinking water.
All dance performances require a minimum of 15’X15’X15′ to perform in. For larger groups, a wider or elevated stage area is recommended, so all the guests can see.
Atmospheric dance performance requires the client to provide danceable music (DJ/Band.) The performer does not supply the music for atmospheric performances unless a special arrangement has been made prior to booking.
Fire shows: add a 15′ buffer zone between performer and audience, furniture, decorations, and anything else potentially flammable. The performance area should be smooth, solid, and cleared of obstacles and slip/trip hazards. Fire and plastics don’t play well together, so fire shows are not available on artificial turf or carpeting. A dance floor or stage may be used in this instance. For indoor performances, vaulted ceilings, good ventilation, an outside fueling area and a clear pathway are needed. Additional security and/or a fire permit may also be required. Please call for a safety assessment before booking an indoor fire show.
Mermaid entertainment requires a green room for breaks with a private area for changing, and a comfortable perch in a shaded area for dry performance.
What if I have to cancel/reschedule?
Your deposit ensures that your special date is reserved for you. If you cancel the date more than 30 days in advance, there is no additional charge. If the event date is less than 30 days away when cancelled, the full fee will be due within 1 week of the scheduled show date.
If you need to reschedule, I will do my best to fulfill your request. (I may not be able if the date you want has already been booked by another client.) If you are rescheduling less than 30 days before the contracted show date, additional fees may apply.
What if you are sick/injured and can't perform?
In the event of an unfortunate accident or illness, I will first try to find the best replacement entertainment for you, so that you don’t have to. I have an extensive network of performers, from fire to aerials to stilt walkers and clowns. The only thing you will have to do is let me know which available performer you would like to step in. If we can’t find someone that’s right for your event, you get a refund. That’s it. No hassle. You can breathe easier knowing that you are covered.
What if it rains?
Since fire performance is most commonly booked for outdoor events, clients are often concerned about potential weather issues. Even in San Diego, where we are blessed with mild weather, sometimes it rains, and sometimes the wind blows. When that happens on a night that I have been booked to perform, things usually go down in one of the following ways:
- It’s just a light drizzle, which is no problem because the props will still burn just fine. The show goes on.
- It pours, but only for a little bit, in which case we wait it out, and the show goes on. For whatever time you have booked your show, on your contract you will notice that I’ve included a 30-minute window for the start time. This is to help cover you in instances just like this one.
- Outside is just not happening tonight. We can move your show inside, with fire if permitted, or with LED or other non-fire props if the venue doesn’t meet fire safety specs. Either way, you are covered.

Lighting Up San Diego Events in 2020
January. The long, deep breath after the hectic holiday party season. It’s a time of year to reflect, regroup, and create new acts for the coming year.
The 2019 holiday party season saw an uptick in LED dance show requests, at least for this San Diego event entertainer.
