Eric Huang
I have fire danced for 20 years, having first gotten my start and love for the art in Thailand. Throughout the years, I’ve since blended various styles, including heavy incorporation of the Polynesian Fireknife dance. I’ve been fortunate and grateful for the opportunity to be the resident Fire Dancer at Rum Jungle as well as perform at venues throughout the world and collaborate with many amazing talented practitioners. For anyone with the desire to learn, I love teaching and sharing this art and am very excited to be a part of Pyroborea!
Robin Fiametta
Robin Fiametta's journey with poi began while living on Maui. Seeing the beauty of fire dancers on Little Beach inspired her to learn the art of poi whilst there. Poi turned out to be her gateway prop and she quickly added double staff, double nunchucks, and fire fans to her repertoire. You never know what she's going to spin or light on fire next! Fiametta enjoys spreading the joy of poi and has taught classes regularly in Calgary and events such as Astral Harvest, HoopWest, Calgary Tam Tam's and Freezer Burn, and she furthers the flow arts for all of us as the president of the Western Canadian Circus Arts Society and Camp Carnival: Circus and Flow Arts Festival. You can catch Fiametta performing regularly with aGoGo.
