Deaja’s Top Performances
F* The Patriarchy
After winning Barcelona Burlesque Fest’s “Most Original” award, this act became one of Deaja’s favorites. Having performed this routine in many other festivals, Deaja has mastered this high energy neo burlesque routine. Featuring a foundation of sass and attitude, F* The Patriarchy is dedicated to breaking down social constructs and celebrating the artists who continue to pave the path forward.
Mama's Makin' Bacon
This event is one of Deaja’s favorites because of the many different hats she gets to wear. Deaja performs ambient aerials on her dazzling lollipop to create an atmosphere for arriving guests, showcases her double hoops act while guests are enjoying their brunch, and acts as a backup dancer and hype man for the drag queens that take the stage. This performance is not only a joy to witness, but it also helped raise $100,000 for the Sacramento LGBT Community Center.
Jeepers Jamboree
Considered the oldest, toughest, and largest organized event of its kind in the world, Jeeper’s Jamboree is the “granddaddy” of 4-wheel events. Deaja brought the heat to this event in 2018 and 2019 with her fire performances in collaboration with Infinite Spin Arts and Organic Pyrotechnics. This act featured triple fire hula hoops, 12 foot fire wings, and many custom made extra large fire props. The finale of this performance was Deaja’s solo fire whip act!
“There is not a single entertainer in the business who can wow an audience like Deaja, Girl on Fire. She amplifies a traditional burlesque performance and literally lights it up in flames. A known professional who has perfected her craft, Deaja continues to build on her show, so it’s impossible to see the same performance twice. If you’re looking for someone who will light the audience's pants on fire, Deaja will not only do that but seduce them with her talent, dancing, and impeccable performance”
