Do you ever feel like your soul is on fire? I've always felt like my core has been fueled by fire. It all started back in 2007 when I began dancing with fire under the performance name, Mourning Fyre. That's when I discovered Fire Mecca, a local resource for buying quality fire-dancing props and raw materials. I quickly became a loyal customer and eventually had the opportunity to work with the owner as a vending and marketing associate.
As part of my journey, I traveled to different flow festivals in Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and California, where I met hundreds of incredible flow artists. Last year, a fantastic opportunity was presented: I could buy Fire Mecca and continue sharing my love for fire dancing while providing my local community with top-notch products at affordable prices.
Initially, I operated the business from my spare bedroom in Phoenix, but I soon realized the safety concerns of running a business from home. This week, we moved into a fantastic new space with AeroTerra Arts at 48th St and University in Phoenix, Arizona.
I'm thrilled to partner with Francesco and connect with aerial and circus artists from around the valley at AeroTerra Arts. It's a collaborative effort between local artists of Phoenix, Arizona, specializing in Aerial, Fire, Belly Dance, Freerunning, Bollywood, Break Dance, Tumbling, Production, and much more, with over ten years of performance experience.
The new space is incredible! It features a vast open gym area with plenty of parkour and aerial apparatus for training, while the high ceilings provide ample space for juggling.
Speaking of juggling, the Phoenix Youth Circus Arts is also operating out of the AeroTerra Arts Gym. It's a non-profit organization that teaches circus arts to children and youth in Phoenix, Arizona, founded by Jens Larson in 2014.
If interested, please check out AeroTerra Arts and consider joining us at an upcoming open gym. It's a fantastic opportunity to explore the world of aerial and circus arts in a welcoming and supportive environment. Visit the new shop Monday through Friday and fuel your fire!
