Grinder Performance
Flirting with danger in her performances has continued to captivate Tamale, prompting her to learn grinder performance. She enlisted the artistic support of Candy XXX, founder of Hard Wear Designs, and had a custom grinder belt created. Layers of steel make up the grinding surface and black leather ruffles frame this steampunk inspired piece. A Dewalt angle grinder, spray painted bronze, is used to direct streams of piping hot sparks into the air, creating a visual accompaniment to the beat.

Jezzible and Tamale
Here's a little treat! Tamale choreographed this little number, and Jezzibel helped to take it home. We had a heck of a time celebrating the 4th of July and hope you enjoy it!

Pyrotechnique
From time to time, Tamale is invited to perform with the distinguished fire troupe, Pyrotechnique. Pyrotechniq is a fully-insured fire performance troupe. Their shows engage any audience with the powerful element of fire combined with dance, prop manipulation, creative costuming, dramatic sound, and energetic choreography. Formed in 2006, with over 60 years of combined experience, Pyrotechniq has grown to become one of the most successful fire performance groups in the United States. "Urban Fire Masters.
