Lorenda is a fusion-style belly dancer from Atlantic City, NJ who enchants audiences with fire performance, LED and glow props, swirling swords, wings, fabulous fans, and silk veils. Her repertoire includes a mix of American cabaret, Egyptian Oriental, and tribal fusion. She has danced professionally since 2009 as a solo artist, with the Burning Hearts Fire and Light Theater, the Daughters of Terpsichore, internationally acclaimed Soraya’s Mid-East Dance and Music Productions, and more.
She is skilled in fire dancing with palm torches, fire fingers, fans, candles, and a fire belt; fire-eating and fire-fleshing wands; and balancing a candle tray and fire sword. An eclectic performer, she is just as likely to belly dance to Arabic music as she is to electronic music, rock or other genres.
Lorenda has performed at events ranging from the traditional to the offbeat, including the Tropicana casino in Atlantic City; festivals such as Burning Man, Return to Roots Gathering, and the Firebird Festival; weddings, baby showers, nightclubs, birthdays, art gallery openings and more. She is very flexible and will perform in almost any type of venue and for almost any kind of event the client can conceive. Her fun shows are both sexy and family-friendly while she encourages people to get up and dance! She’ll even teach you and your guests how to bellydance!
Fire Performing: Lorenda carries a $1 million fire performer’s liability insurance policy through Specialty Insurance. She follows fire safety conforming to the National Fire Protection Association’s Code 160 for “flame effects before an audience,” and her performances meet the standards of the North American Fire Arts Association. She holds a Certificate of Education in Fire Safety by the Flow Arts Institute. Lorenda will work with the local fire marshal to obtain a permit for your event.
