Leyla and Paris

A Performance (bellydance, world dances, fire, LED, Etc…) would be anywhere between 15 min - 1.5 hours depending on the circumstances a client desires. We can break up the shows into 15-20 minute mini shows that also helps keep the audience stay engaged if this is a longer event and many people are coming and going from the event.

For our fire shows, all of our performers are licensed and insured and our fire safeties have extensive fire safety training. We maintain a safe space during our fire shows for performers and audience members. Most shows include myself, PyroParis or many other talent artists interacting with each other. We can do small shows with only 2 fire performers or up to 15 fire performers. We can add in some of our flame cannons (we own 4 of them and they shoot 10' and up) and/or cold sparks (we own 4 of them and they shoot 10' and up). Leyla and PyroParis are both licensed flame operators and run these for concerts and music videos. Some of our fire shows can include audience interaction. All public fire shows will require a fire permit and that will be quoted separately for the local jurisdiction. Each jurisdiction has different rates for fire permits.

We have LED tools we have trained with for years. I will create a stunning visual experience with awe-inspiring movements designed to show expertise and passion of the LED tools. All at the same time maintain a safe environment for everyone involved in and around the performance.

Bellydance and/or Renaissance shows: these shows are generally created to be 30 minutes long with interactive storytelling, dancing and audience participation. In audience participation we teach some dance technique or props. These shows are great for all ages and large public events like Renaissance shows, 1001 night theme events, corporate events, etc…. We create a show lineup to the clients needs and tailor it to the theme. We can dance on a stage or on an open dance floor. These shows are usually have about 15 dancers that are trained in that specific dance style.

In audience participation we teach may have them engage in some magic, dance or props. These shows are great for all ages and large public events like state fairs, circus themed show, or corporate events, etc…. We create a show line up to the clients needs and tailor it to the theme. We can dance on a stage or on an open dance floor. These shows can include aerial, depending on what the needs are and location we may have a height requirement. The show is usually about 6-15 circus performers that are trained in that specific cirque style. Can include aerial; silks, lyra, cube, spiral, chandelier, and/or lollipop apparatus.
