How do I book you?
Fill out the booking form on our Contact Us page or contact us directly at cirquedelight@gmail.com
Where do you perform?
Our performers are mainly booked to entertain in the New England area (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania) but are available to perform anywhere in the world.
How long are your shows?
We customize the length of our shows to fit your needs. A single feature “act” is usually the length of a song or about 4 to 6 minutes. Our feature shows range anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour in length. For roving walk-around entertainment, we book by the hour and the number of sets that a performer will do in a given hour is based on what skill they are performing.
What are your rates?
Our rates are based on a number of factors such as length of performance, type of performance (choreographed show or roving), number of performers, type of skill (e.g. aerials or fire dancing) and travel distance. We offer package discounts when larger numbers of performers are booked for a single event or when our performers are booked for multiple events.

Are you insured?
Our fire performers and aerialists are insured by default. Most of our other performers carry performers’ insurance as well. We can provide certificates of additional insured upon request.
What kinds of acts do your fire shows include?
Each of our shows vary, but some of the many props featured include: fire poi, fire staff, fire hoop, fire fans, fire dragon staff, fire sword and fire rope dart. Some shows include fire breathing and fire eating as well. To see some of these props in action, take a look at our fire promos on our Fire Shows page.
Do you perform fire during the day?
Yes. Darkness is ideal for viewing fire shows, but we have done numerous day-time fire shows. We suggest that the show take place in the shade when possible to increase visibility of the fire.
What kind of space do you need for fire performing?
For outdoor shows, we require an area of at least 10 feet by 10 feet with a height clearance of at least 15 feet. Acceptable surfaces include but are not limited to: grass, brick, stone, wood and concrete. Performance area should be free of holes, debris, broken glass and other hazards.
Can you perform fire indoors?
We can perform with fire indoors given permission from the venue, permits from the local fire department and fulfillment of a stringent set of criteria for the performance space. For venues that do not allow indoor fire shows, we perform with LED (or glow) props. Please see our Glow Show page for images and video of LED props in use.
What are your safety practices?
Safety is our number one priority, and we adhere to a very strict set of safety protocol. Our protocol address the safety of the audience, venue and the performers. A detailed outline of our safety practices is available upon request.
Do you provide your own music?
We do provide our own music for feature shows and can provide ambient music as well on request. We can either work with a DJ at your event or bring our own PA system.
Can you program anything into the Visual Poi?
Our programmable LED Visual Poi or “pixel poi” are one of our most popular offerings. We can program logos and other images as well as words and phrases into these LED poi. Simpler images will tend to show up better than more complicated images, but we are happy to review any images that you have in mind to let you know how they will most likely look.
