What it feels like 🤝 | 'I’m an erotic fire performer – I love turning up the heat'
Circled in flames, my friend Michelle rhythmically swung fire balls attached to chains and put on a fire poi show.
I would watch many fire dance videos, specifically to study the combination of dance with fire performing. A fire dancer and a fire performer are two separate things and my goal was to combine both of them into one character.Shortly after, I watched fire breathing videos. I know it sounds dangerous and, at first I practised for about a month or two with water.
It took me three months to master fire-eating. The first two months were extensive research while building the courage internally to get over my fear of burning myself. At the time, I wasn’t making as much as my competitors, but for only being 18 years old and making $2,000-$3,000 per month for a few fire shows, I was extremely happy with myself.
There, I became the creative director of the weekly fire shows. Masae and I did a show there every Saturday for the following five years. We were rock stars and I was only in my early 20s. After I accomplished all of my goals, I lost my spark — no pun intended — for fire performing in 2005. I was living like a rock star, but I was bored. I felt I had nothing left to prove. I ended up becoming a paralegal in January 2007 and moving away from fire performing.
