Tamed Fire is a fire dance and fire show and entertainment production company established in Fresno, CA in 2006. Being the longest running fire show in the valley Tamed Fire is home to the most experienced, skilled and entertaining fire dancers the industry has to offer. Our specialty is modern fire shows that on average run 15-45 minutes in duration. If you want a small fire performance or a large fire production, Tamed fire will have your guests spellbound and talking about it for weeks after the show.
Mark was excellent as entertainment, and from the organizer viewpoint, a dream to work with. He confirmed prior to the show by calling to get last details, showed up plenty early to discuss expectations and review the show prior, did a safety check, set up his materials, and checked in at the end before leaving. Loved the level of professionalism, and the artistry of the show.

Tamed Fire is a fire show production company created in the fall of 2006 by Mark Husted. Mark performed solo traveling up and down California for four years before coming across other dancers that met his standards of professionalism to be in the Tamed Fire Show. Since then he has studied numerous choreographies, created new fire props for the show, gives free online lessons through his Youtube channel Tamed Fire, attends some of the largest fire festivals in the U.S., sharing, studying and gaining more insight into what makes a great fire performance. What Tamed Fire professionalizes in is the "flow arts" and in December 2010 Mark won the sweepstakes award in an international video competition on what the meaning of flow is. You can see his winning video on the Tamed Fire youtube channel search "meaning of flow." Having the most talent and effects in our group/shows is what really gives us the freedom to make more diversified shows than our competitors. We know that you too will see the difference. Whether it is an outdoor or indoor event, small or large show, Tamed Fire can make it happen.
