Jewelissa

Audiences would be mesmerized by Jewelissa's performance! Once hired, we can tailor services to fit the time allotted. These services are the following:
- Belly Dance Performance (to authentic music or to a custom playlist by the client - any song is good!)
- Fire Performance (Fire Fans, Fire Eating, Fire Breathing, Double Staves, Fire Sword)
- Fire Performance fused with Belly Dance
- Belly Dance Mini Lesson/Full Lesson (Good for all levels/beginner!)
- Meet and Greet with Photos
- Walking Performer - Belly Dance (more background entertainment that intermingles with your audience while there is main entertainment such as live music)

Jewelissa can perform to any types of music as she has experience performing improvisation during live music sets and festivals. You can provide a list of songs that I can rehearse to, prior to your event, so everything occurs seamlessly.

Additional performers can be booked with Jewelissa for an additional fee - additional belly dancers, additional fire dancers, and circus performers.

Jewelissa has been a performer for over 15 years, various expressions such as dance, music, and theatre. She began exploring belly dance (MENAHT dance) in 2016 to find community and explore expression in movement. First, she studied American Cabaret technique and then branched out into fusion (formerly Tribal Fusion) belly dance and improv styles such as ITS (Improv Team Sync) and Tribal Bellies Format. She learns under her current mentor, Yareli Urbina/Queen Yareli where she performs with belly dance troupe, Las Serpientas (The Serpents). They have performed across the tri-state area with Dead Flowers Circus, Tribal Vortex, and Art of the Belly Festival. Notable teachers she's studied with are Amy Sigil, Silvia Salamanca, Jo Boring, and Vikki Gale.

In 2019, she connected with Tamed Flamed Productions at Beardfest Music Festival in Hammonton, NJ and created her own fire fusion troupe The WildFyres. Her experience in flow arts, color guard, and belly dance has fused three of her loves together with fire performance, thanks to training from Tamed Flame. The WildFyres specialize in theatrical fire fusion performances and empowering events in the South Jersey area and members of WildFyres are available to accompany myself to your event for added entertainment, for an additional fee.

For belly dance performances, we will specify if there is a performance area that can act as a stage. An area can be designated if you want Jewelissa's performance to take specific focus during your event.

For walking performances, I can intermingle in certain areas of your event space to draw spectators/customers/audience members to areas of interest.

For fire performance, I MUST have a performance area that enables me to maintain a 10-15 foot radius of space around myself. This is to keep myself and audience members safe at all times during the performance. I will need a fuel area away from the audience, but near my performance area, to keep my fuel when I need to re-soak or ready another prop. If booking fire performance, part of my fee will go towards an additional person who will act as my "safety". This individual is necessary as they will standby with a fire blanket and fire extinguisher to look over for myself, my audience, and the fire fueling area. This will ensure your event is equally safe and mesmerizing for yourself and your audience.
