Jill started her journey with Fire Groove in her hoop. She picked it up after Jillwatching the beautiful Vivian Spiral at a festival, & what a powerful tool it turned out to be. Soon, Jill was hooping her heart out, learning everything she could from youtube videos & the amazing network of hoopers online. When she started classes with Fire Groove & met Kamala, Hannah, & Lester, she knew she had found her home. She fell in love with the flow arts & the flow arts community. Jill was soon in Fire Groove classes for Staff, Double Staff, Fans, Poi, Palm Torches, & Dragon Staff in addition to her hoop practice. She upped her yoga classes & started to explore other forms of dance. Her hard work & dedication paid off & she had the blessing to join the company as a performer, teacher, & product maker. The flow arts have helped Jill to tap into her inner strength & power, sparking a new chapter for her as a performance artist. When she is not fire dancing, she works as an actress, model, & film maker.

Performance has always been a strong force in Ali’s life. She grew up putting on shows, and spent all her free time taking every movement class imaginable; from jazz, tap, and ballet to musical theater, gymnastics, and figure skating. When she saw her first bellydance performance, she fell in love on the spot. Ali spent the next 6 years training and performing with a tribal fusion bellydance troupe in her hometown of Eugene, OR.  Ali began taking burlesque classes in college, and it wasn’t long before she and several friends combined talent, a love of dance, circus arts, and a taste for the bizarre to create Travesty Revue; a dark twisted vaudeville cabaret. Ali drew on her growing immersion in the burning man arts community, and soon she was experimenting with fire dance as well. In no time at all she was playing with hoop, staff, fire fans, and fire eating and painting, which would soon become a lifelong love. When Ali met Fire Groove at one of her first shows in Los Angeles, she was immediately inspired to become a part of the family, and has actively been pursuing the flow arts ever since.

For the last ten years as a performer in LA, Ali has worked with FireGroove, Luscious Maven Pole Dance, and International Dance Academy to hone her skills as a dancer and increase her strength and charisma as a performer. She is also a Co-Owner in Hells Belles Burlesque, Hollywood's hottest neo-burlesque troupe and LA's largest burlesque school. Ali has developed her own unique style; melding elements of sexy burlesque flow, classical dance technique, firey sensuality, and just a little bit of rock and roll to create a truly individual teaching and performance experience that will leave you feeling strong, beautiful, and empowered through flow!
