Fire Desire History and Story:

Our humble beginnings date back to 2008 with a group of friends who shared a passion for Fire Dancing. At this time the community was relatively small and the numbers of fire dancers were few and far. We wanted to connect with other fire performers to learn and share what we knew. This saw the creation of Fire Desire Community, which is today one of the biggest communities on for Fire Flow Arts on Facebook connecting over 2500 Artists around the world.

In 2010 the community started receiving requests for performers for events and so our journey into professional shows started. A small performance troupe was created in JHB, carefully selecting the most exceptional performers from within the community. The team was talented and passionate about performing but most wet behind the ears. The first two years of performing for Private and Corporate functions was a huge learning curve and carried many important lessons.

It turns out that the Entertainment Industry was very cut throat and competitive. This was to be expected but some practices were just unethical and greedy. Talented Performers that are not so well knows are paid minimal rates while charging the client costly rates. Some agents play performers against each other for gigs, forcing performers to keep lowering their rates, this saving sadly not being passed on to the client at all. This cannot be said for all agents and events companies but there are many unethical practices.

Thus in 2012 Fire Desire Entertainment was established by Bruno Kopf (Sole Proprietor)
I wanted to create an Agency that supported fire performance arts, its development, public awareness and help establishing fire dancing as a mainstream form of entertainment. Thus it became my mission to provide professional world class performers, pay artists fair rates, take ethical commission rates, offering clients fair prices, supporting the growth of flow arts in South Africa.

2014 & 2015 FDE started seeing positive growth and recognition. We sourced talented fire artists / troupes from all over the country and started listing their acts. Every year we have brought over a big name international artist to tour the country helping local performers further their skills. Added new services that compliment fire acts like: LED Dancers, Belly Dancers and African Drummers.

Fire Desire Entertainment has quickly become one of the industry leaders in providing Fire Shows, LED Shows and Belly Dancers. 
In 2016 the company registered as a (Pty) Ltd ushering in a new chapter of growth and innovation. Why not contact us and experience for yourself our excellent service and world class acts
