“Christa is a well rounded fire performer, and I refrain from saying dancer because she does not only dance, but interprets the client’s brief and executes it with great professionalism and integrity. The fact that she first dedicated her life to ballet and then went on to dance for PACT, set a wonderful foundation for her art of movement and fire. She also takes the art form of fire dancing further with innovative and creative ideas like beaming poi, flag dancing and ribbon poi. You will be guaranteed a beautifully choreographed performance of high standard and breathtaking beauty.”
Fire Dancing Shows
Dancing has always been my great love and passion.
I started my ballet training when I was just five years old. When my professional ballet career at PACT Ballet Company ended in 1997, I went in search of something equally fulling and challenging, and found the beautiful flow art of fire dancing and, more recently, hooping and hoop dancing.
To bring variety to my fire dancing performance, I use different fire toys such as poi, fire fingers, fire fans, palm candles and the fire hoop. I also dance with ribbons and flags as a daytime performance option.
I perform either on my own or with other experienced performers. In the last 15 years, I’ve danced countrywide at corporate events, weddings, award ceremonies, private functions as well as some really big stage productions. Special occasions where I have performed include The Feather Awards Gala event, Wesbank’s awards ceremony, the Nedbank Million Dollar Golf Challenge at Sun City, the EOH year-end production at Gallagher Estate, the ICC in Durban, Ultra South Africa and Carnival City’s 20th birthday celebration show Dis ‘n Sirkus.
Dancing has been my lifelong passion. From ballet at age five to a professional career with PACT Ballet Company, I’ve always loved to move. After 1997, I discovered fire dancing, hooping, and hoop dancing, bringing new excitement to my art.
My performances incorporate various fire toys, ribbons, and flags. Over the past 15 years, I’ve showcased my talents at corporate events, weddings, and major productions across the country, including prestigious venues like Sun City and Gallagher Estate.
