Last weekend I hosted an outdoor party and unfortunately we were rained on. Tho we had covering, it was pretty miserable at times when the rain turned up. Lorenda came and still did an amazing fire performance, even thru the drizzle!! Her versatility and ability to work around tough situations earned my respect. Her performance wowed my friends. She even stayed to talk to my guests who wanted to chat. The combination of the fire performance and the sensual belly dancing and sword dancing, everyone was so impressed. It is still talked about a week later. I totally secured the position of “great party planner” amongst my friends thanks to Lorenda. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for adding the bit of exotic element and WOW factor to your event! 🤩😍

Lorenda was absolutely amazing for our Christmas in July party! She arrived early to set up and was very professional yet so much fun and easy going.
Her presence made our whole party memorable and we can not wait to bring her back for other holiday parties we will have. Her fire act was really impressive and is such a huge addition to any party!!

Thank you so much for having me, Rachel!! You and your husband, Kris, are excellent party hosts! I had so much fun. It almost didn't feel like working.

I have a whole witchy and spooky fire show you'll love! :)

Me and my friend signed up for a fire lesson from Lorenda and had a really fun time. It was my friend's first time using fire, and Lorenda was very thorough in going over safety precautions and explaining everything to make sure we knew what we were doing and what to do if something started not going according to plan.
I've had a handful of fire lessons and she showed me a lot that I was still not familiar with. She showed off her different fire props and gave us the chance to use a few of them. We got to use palm torches, a fire sword, and do a bit of fleshing.
The main thing we focused on was fire eating, which Lorenda was very clear on all the steps we needed to take to do so as safely as possible. She made it clear how dangerous fire eating could be if you were not being careful, so she spent a lot of time having us practice with unlit torches, and explaining to us what to do before and after fire eating to avoid any bad side effects. Me and my friend both felt confident enough by the end of the fire eating lesson that we were able to successfully extinguish a few torches. It was such a fun time and I feel like it gave us a good foundation for being able to pursue the skill further if we wanted to.
We learned with Lorenda for about 4 hours and came away having learned a lot of good information and having a really memorable experience.

Hi, Emi. I’m glad that your guests loved the fire dancing. I saw many smiles on your guests’ faces when I was belly dancing too. I’m sorry that it was not everything you expected. This is the first somewhat complaint I have ever received, but thank you for your feedback.
Performance was great. Our guests had a good time! It fit our medieval theme.
Great time was had by all!!!
Lorenda was the best instructor, demonstrating belling dancing and explaining the informative facts of the art of the dance . She had props and was encouraging the group to join in.
Lorenda was great! Everyone really enjoyed her performance. She even encouraged the crowd to get up and learn some belly dance moves with her. Her fire performance was stellar. There were definitely lots of ooohs and aaahs from the audience. She brought a fire safety and film crew that were also very pleasant and great to work with. Since I was a tad clueless on how long she should perform, her suggestions worked out great. She definitely knows what she is doing!

She captivated the audience the entire time and did a great job of including the guests in a limbo contest and teaching a hula dance. Throughout the entire process she was professional and thorough and kept the lines of communication open. Safety of guests was always a priority as well. Would definitely recommend her.

I reached out to Lorenda about teaching a fire dancing workshop in 2017 for an event I was planning. She went so above and beyond what would be expected and actually ended up co-hosting the event with me. Extremely knowledgeable in every aspect, in particular with fire safety, permits and laws in different cities and states. I was so impressed I ended up taking private lessons as well as her workshop she taught before our event. After teaching a sold out workshop, she traveled to our event space and performed a beautiful traditional Arabic piece to a live band followed by a fire show to several rock songs! Very diverse in her performance abilities. Would absolutely hire/work with her again anytime. I highly recommend Lorenda for any event you are having.

“Experience the cosmic flames of belly dancing with Lorenda! As a professional entertainment booking agent, large concert show producer and fellow belly dancer, I see tons of dancers and receive enormous amounts of audition material to my talent agency from all over the world. I must always be selective for my clients and carefully hand-pick my talent. When I first saw Lorenda belly dance, I knew this girl was going places as an artist. Witnessing great belly dancing is so much more than simply memorizing a choreography or just mindlessly going through the motions; it is all about feeling the music and having a spiritually electrifying connection with the audience in an unforgettable way.
“When you watch Lorenda perform, you will enjoy an incredible, creative vortex and so will your guests. From start to finish, she takes you on a colorful, sinuous journey of the mind, body and soul. Lorenda evokes the true essence and soul of belly dancing, not just on a divine feminine level but on a human level. She has a natural passion, affinity and ability for this dance which is evident in her work and she makes it all her own.
“Lorenda ensconces the audience into a beautiful, fiery spectacle of the senses like no other. It is a sensory experience unlike anything else as she transforms your event from the typical to the extraordinary. From the moment Lorenda steps onto the stage, you are immediately mesmerized by her beauty and gorgeous costuming. Her swirling veils, great technique and fire torches will transform your event into the cosmic stratosphere. Trust me, not only will her vast dance vocabulary keep the audience riveted, her fabulous personality and creative versatility will have your guests talking for years to come. At one of her shows you will be transported to ancient Egypt and back for an experience that is truly unique. You will not be disappointed hiring Lorenda for a beautiful show that will blow your mind!”
Yours in art, killer hip drops and Arabic sequin love,

Thank you, Soraya! It is an honor to receive such a glowing review from a belly dancer of your caliber. Middle Eastern dance is in your blood!
Lorenda is a true performer. Her dances are alluring. With every twist, twirl and slithering snake move, the audience won't be able to blink. Her eyes dance with the crowd. Once she brings out the wings and swords it is entertainment at its best. Coincidentally she is from Atlantic City because her act is shore to please!!

Response from Fire Bellydancer Lorenda:
Thank you, Massiel! I had a fun time entertaining for your father-in-law's birthday party!!!
I had seen Lorenda perform belly ancing in the past, even incorporating fire, and I was quite curious to learn more. Lorenda taught a beginner's belly dancing class in my home on a couple of occasions so that I and a few friends could learn the history and practice some Middle Eastern dance moves ourselves.
Due to my unique struggles with balance, spine alignment, and muscle movement in one leg as a result of a birth defect, I expected this class to be a challenge - for both myself and Lorenda. We were both easily able to rise to the occasion, thanks to her enthusiasm, attention and encouragement.
Lorenda's knowledge of belly dancing history taught me much more about this practice than I anticipated. The combination of Lorenda's brains and beautiful dance moves inspire her audience to reflect her respectful appreciation for this cultural art form.

About
Lorenda has been belly dancing professionally and mesmerizing audiences since 2009 as a solo artist, with internationally acclaimed Soraya’s Mid-East Dance and Music Productions, the Burning Hearts Fire and Light Theater, the Daughters of Terpsichore troupe, and more. She has performed at events ranging from the traditional to the offbeat, including the Tropicana casino in Atlantic City; festivals such as Burning Man, the Phoenixville Firebird Festival, and Return to Roots Gathering; weddings; corporate events; bridal showers; restaurants; nightclubs; birthdays; ladies' nights; art gallery openings, and more.
Lorenda is also a bellydance instructor who provides solo and group workshops, and lessons at special events.
“In ancient times, bellydance was a sacred dance to honor the goddess,” she says. “Bellydance has helped me get more in touch with that divine aspect in myself. Through my performances and classes, I try to awaken this spiritual joy in others and help them get in touch with their sacred selves.”
Additional Booking Notes
* Lorenda will provide a music set list on an iPod that will be given to the DJ. If there is no DJ or stereo system, Lorenda will provide a portable amplified speaker. Lorenda can customize your set list with almost any music.
* If Lorenda is booked to fire perform, a trained fire safety person will accompany her to the event and provide two CO2 fire extinguishers and fire blankets. This person will ensure the safety of the audience and the venue by maintaining a safe 15-foot perimeter around the fire performance at all times, keeping watch over the audience and the fuel depot, and following other types of fire safety protocol conforming to national and local fire codes.
* If requested to fire perform in a public space or venue, Lorenda must contact the local fire marshal to obtain a "flame effects permit." Please allow at least two weeks notice in order to ensure a permit can be obtained in time. Every town's fire department operates under a different schedule, so a month's notice is optimal.
* Please be mindful of weather conditions, including rain and wind, if a fire performance is planned for outside. Providing a rain date, high awnings or a tent, or the option of a show with LED and glow props inside are good alternatives. Lorenda can also bellydance inside with palm candles and a candle tray balanced on her head. Some venues are OK with this, and permits are not always needed for candle dancing like they are with larger fire props.
* Lorenda will travel nationwide. She requires additional payment for the cost of a hotel and transportation for any gig farther than 125 miles from Atlantic City, NJ.

Set List
Lorenda is an eclectic performer, and she is just as likely to bellydance to Arabic music as she is to electronic dance music, rock, or other genres. She can customize a music set list for you with almost any kind of music.
Setup Requirements
If Isis wings are requested, they may not be used in a room with low ceilings.
A separate safe space must be provided for the fuel depot that is at least 15 feet away from the performance area, the audience, and smokers.
Fire performing must be done outside unless an inside performance is authorized by the local fire marshal and the venue owner.
A safe space for fire performing must be designated where the audience will stand at least 15 feet away from the flames at all times.
If a sword performance is requested, it should be done away from any foot traffic, especially if alcohol is served.
