What is a Fire Dancer job?

A fire dancer is a performer who uses fire as part of their act, typically by manipulating flaming props such as poi, staffs, hula hoops, or fans. They combine elements of dance, acrobatics, and choreography to create visually stunning routines. Fire dancers often perform at events, festivals, and private gatherings, requiring skill, training, and strict adherence to safety protocols.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Fire Dancer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Fire Dancer, you need strong coordination, rhythm, physical fitness, and experience with fire props and performance safety. Knowledge of fire safety protocols, proper fueling techniques, and possibly a fire safety certification are often necessary, along with tools like poi, staffs, fans, or hula hoops designed for fire performance. Standout fire dancers also possess creativity, stage presence, teamwork, and excellent communication skills. These skills ensure entertaining and safe performances for both the audience and the performer, reducing risks associated with this high-adrenaline art form.

What are the typical work settings and team structures for fire dancers?

Fire dancers often work in a variety of environments, including festivals, corporate events, private parties, theme parks, or theaters, and may perform both indoors and outdoors depending on client needs and local regulations. While some fire dancers work solo, many are part of entertainment troupes or collaboration-based performance teams, often partnering with stage managers, lighting technicians, and pyrotechnic safety personnel. Communication and coordination within the team are key to ensuring seamless performances and upholding high safety standards. In addition to performing, you may have responsibilities such as rehearsals, maintaining and inspecting fire equipment, and helping educate others on fire safety. Working as a fire dancer fosters strong bonds with other performers and opens opportunities for creative input in show design and choreography.

Job description

Job Description
Description:
The Head Counselor (HC) is a student staff member who lives in an assigned suite in the Meredith Willson Residence Hall and assists in the implementation of the Juilliard Summer Programs.
The HC serves as a role model, peer counselor, and builds community for the participants of the Juilliard Summer Programs and is responsible for the safety and wellbeing of a group of campers that reside within the residence hall. The HC serves on call within a duty rotation of other Resident Counselors and reports directly to the Summer Conference and Residence Life Coordinator.

As a general guideline, HCs should anticipate a minimum of 20 hours per week of regularly scheduled responsibilities (e.g., time in their community, staff meetings, staff duty, and other responsibilities). HCs are expected to assist in procedures for emergencies including natural disasters, building or campus-wide emergencies, building coverage, medical, mental health, facility issues, and anything else that may permit an "all-hands" response.
Employment Period
The employment period is from June 29, 2025-July 26, 2025. Staff members are expected to participate in all training sessions. Some days will require additional assistance that include but is not limited to Resident Counselor training and residence hall opening and closing.
Renumeration
  • Single bedroom within a shared suite and a meal plan
  • $1600 for term of employment
