An Invitation to the Art of Dancing with Fire
Dear whirling dancers and performance artists,
Join me in Carrara, Italy, on 11–13 July for a unique Fireskirt Masterclass, where we’ll dive into the powerful art of dancing with fire. You’ll learn how to perform with a fiery skirt—mastering both the technical skills and the transformative energy behind it.
The very first Fireskirt premiered in 2004 at the Vienna Fire Brigade Ball and reached global attention with my solo piece EMBER in 2010. This masterclass draws directly from that legacy, guiding you from costume preparation to stage presence.
🗓️ This is a SAVE THE DATE call! Full details will follow once we’ve gauged interest.
🔸 Limited to 25 participants 🔸 Total fee: €300–€500, based on number of participants 🔸 To reserve: €100 non-refundable deposit (Travel and accommodation not included)
💡 New! DIP-Shop will soon offer Fireskirts for sale. You'll have the chance to use your own personal skirt during the masterclass! When confirming your reservation, simply mention if you'd like to purchase one—you’ll receive personalised guidance.
Invite/encourage your friends, colleagues, and beloved whirlers to join. The more we are, the more affordable and enriching the experience becomes for everyone.
If you want to take your performative-whirling-journey to the next level, then reserve your place!
