Amazing, I would give 10 stars if I could! I highly recommend these performers, they were professional, on time, and easy to communicate with. They put on a great show for my party and everyone loved it!

This is the 2nd time we have used Intrinsic Arts and we have had only positive experiences ! They are so easy to work with & great communication before, during & after.
Performers were very professional & fabulous!
I hired Intrinsic Arts for firedancing at my Gatsby Party. They arrived on time, organized right away with other performers and gave a stunning performance. Very professional and friendly. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!

Super nice couple! Show was awesome!Will have them back next year!
Fire Dancer
The fire performers were amazing! The youth and adults enjoyed watching them. They were able to perform to the music the band was playing. So much fun!
(Photos may be a bit blurry, but I was enjoying them so much I forgot to snap pictures while videoing.)
We have an annual party at our farm and we have booked Intrinsic Arts for the last two events (a Gatsby party and a luau.). They are exceptional and are far superior to anyone else we have booked for fire eating or fire dancing. This is not just a job to them - it is an art. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
The ultimate performance is always top-notch and guests remember it long after the party is over. My Facebook feed is usually full of videos from their performances for days after a party. I actually save videos - their performances even look great on a phone.
But the professionalism and care they put into everything also separates them. They don’t just set a price and show up. You hear from them in advance with any music requests, performance ideas and costume themes. They arrive early to discreetly setup and they are really kind and friendly people.
Their performers always get into whatever theme you have picked and they are dressed in the spirit of it (one of them literally dressed as Taylor Swift for a set and knocked it out.). Their performances are hands down the best I have seen. We have been hosting this party for nine years. I have hired many fire performers in my life. No one compares to Intrinsic Arts.
Their pricing is very reasonable (almost too reasonable - they could charge more for their level of talent.). I literally have nothing but good things to say. This is A+ talent without attitude or markup costs. Just an absolute gem of a find. If you’re looking for a firedancer or group, stop right here. They are the absolute best.

Very happy with the Santa provided. Will definitely use again.

I appreciate your willingness to work with me on making our event so successful!
LED Performer
We had a contract for 5 performers and only 4 showed up. We thought they would disperse throughout our event to entertain our large crowd but they pretty much stayed together in a group. What they did was okay and the crowd seemed to like what they saw, just not individual performers like we expected.

No better way to cap off the night of a big Viking Halloween party than with an hour of fire dancing with 2 performers. Everyone absolutely loved the show and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience
Fire Dancer
Thank you for creating an amazing experience for our guest. The music corresponding with the performance and everyone loved it
Fire Dancer, Fire Eater, Fire Performer
The Santa was very nice and did a great job. He arrived 15 mins early to our event and was a pleasure to have. We will definitely use this company again in the future.
Santa Claus
The performers showed up on time and were flexible with our schedule and willing to wait for it to be darker and perform outside. Once they did start it was an entertaining show that was enjoyed by everyone. Exciting fire eating, throwing, and dancing. Cheers.
Fire Dancer
Though he ran late, Santa did a great job hosting our event!
Santa Claus
Intrinsic Arts did a great job! Everyone has been complementing them! Thank you so much 🧡🖤
What a great team of performers!!! On time and very friendly. Outstanding routines. We had multiple performances throughout the evening each one different and better than the one before!! Thanks.
Fire Dancer, Fire Eater
An outstanding performance by the Intrinsic performers. They were prompt, professional and engaging. I will definitely be hiring them again for my next event!
Great visual show for our guests! Entertaining, professional with various fire stunts. Would definitely hire again!
Hoop Dancer, Fire Performer
Great performance.. the guests were in total amazement.. professional performers
Fire Dancer, Fire Performer
It was absolutely beautiful. They did an amazing job. They were phenomenal. Great personality. Awesome show and I will definitely hire them again. Please hire this company. They are also by far the least expensive. One company quoted $400 for 2 fire people for 15 minutes. This company sent 6 ppl total for a 1/2 hour. Great performers at a great price. Thank you Intrinsic.
Fire Performer
Our guest enjoyed them as they preformed during our cocktail hour.
Fire Performer
The show was great! The two performers had different styles which made it very entertaining! They did put on a good show
They were prepared, cordial and went out of their way to wait and accommodate a performance beyond of what was asked of them. I highly reccomend these guys for entertainment for your special occasion whatever it may be. They will not let you down!
Fire Performer
Great acts on time and professional.

What to Expect
As a fire troupe, we offer a wide selection of fire props and spinning styles. We are trained with poi, hoop, staff, double staff, rope dart, and fans. We incorporate tech, flow, and stage fighting into our routines. We do ambient and choreographed pieces. We have performed at indoor and outdoor events ranging from music and arts festivals to private parties and from corporate events to fundraisers. We are insured and trained in fire safety management. Performances generally last 15-60 minutes.
We work with multiple live painters. They utilize various styles including visionary, surrealism, portraiture, pointillism, and landscape. They have painted locally at various concerts and arts & crafts fairs, and internationally at Envision in Costa Rica. Our painters are available to paint at your event, for commissions, and have studio work available for sale.
