Fire

“Set your life on fire, seek those who fan your flames” -Rumi

I began to dance with the element of fire in 2014.
I can honestly say it was a pivotal phoenix moment in many ways.
Though before I decided to ignite that fiery passion of mine, I had been a dancer since childhood. Starting with tap, jazz, & ballet, then 7 years of competitive Irish step dancing ( aka “river dancing”). I have always found clarity in movement, dance is one of the big ways I return to my heart center through movement meditation.
During the summer of 2012 when I was rummaging through my mothers attic, I found a twirling baton.
It was then that I decided to start the journey of dancing with props. I never thought much of it, I just enjoyed the motions of dancing and twirling with this weighted piece of metal. It wasn’t until I ordered a second one did I start to feel fully balanced. Around that same time, I had become friends with a group of people who had been fire dancing professionally for years. They got me fully versed in the fire safety procedures on the side lines. After quite some time of watching me with my regular batons, they gave me the courage and a safe place to ignite them with fire.

Now years later I myself am a professional insured fire performer, with more fire props added to my collection including fire fans, fire palm torches & fire wings.

I feel so honored with the fact that now I too have been the teacher of fire safety and the passer of the flame, for others to safely & fully express their inner light.

I want everyone to shine bright!
