A Glimpse into The Fuel Girls Auditions: The Search for the Next Generation of Fire Performers!

If there’s one thing The Fuel Girls have always been known for, it’s our love for pyrotechnics, epic aerial acts & producing awe-inspiring fire performances (even if we do say so ourselves!). With over 20 years in the industry, we’ve wowed audiences worldwide with our fiery displays. Yet, even as we continue to set the stage on fire – both metaphorically and literally – our commitment to fresh new talent and innovation never wanes.

This year marked another exciting chapter in our story, as we hosted auditions in London, aiming to uncover the next wave of talent to join the iconic Fuel Girls brand. Our mission was to find performers who could match our passion, skill, and fearless attitude that’s required to take to the stages with us, around the globe. With over 300 applications pouring in, the anticipation and excitement was palpable! 

Imagine our dilemma – having to review so many talented applications brimming with talent and potential! It was a month-long process, as we dived deep into understanding the capabilities of each beautiful artist.

Over the past 3 months we have been sharing a schedule of socially distanced, but very much together, free online classes & tutorials on our Fuel Girls FACEBOOK LIVE. This has kept us SANE and connected throughout this weird lock-down period! It has also created a lot of fun as well as keeping us both fit AND stocked up on hugely sugary home made cakes. They do say it is all about balance!

We have given you online classes in fire choreography with Katie (obviously with unlit props, so no house fires here!!) to make-up tutorials with Charlotte. Cooking classes with Shireen, fitness classes with Von and Yoga with Kayla plus lots more. We have all joined each others classes and enjoyed seeing the faces of our gorgeous crew and YOU LOT, over this time of….. well how can we describe it…. lock down insanity!

We have now turned some of those public online classes private (via Zoom and some face to face), to allow you to learn 1-2-1 and work with us in a more in-depth way. We have focussed our classes on the things you asked for, such as choreographing with specific fire props or working on certain make-up looks –

As promised I’m back with the second instalment of the very exciting FUEL GIRLS BLOG! Last month we reached out to you guys to see what you wanted us to talk about, so this time we’re covering off that thing we actually do for a living – fire performance!

Now it’s not easy to answer a lot of the questions we get regarding our shows because quite frankly SO much goes into them behind the scenes it can be a little overwhelming to know where to start. Now, you also have to take into consideration the fact that we’ve all been doing this for at least ten years, so honestly, our girls make things that are technically REALLY hard, look crazy EASY! 

Truth be told, you can’t just ‘become a fuel girl’ overnight, our girls all have a set of really unique skills that a. take a really long time to learn and master, and b. often aren’t learnt – for example, stage presence and performance, you sort of have it- or you don’t, and that is really, in my opinion, the thing that sets our girls apart from ALL other performance groups out there. 

I thought I’d break down some of the most pertinent questions we get asked all the time,

Hey Guys, Von here!

I wanted to kick-start 2020 with a bit of an update to all our awesome friends and followers. 

For the next few months, we’re going to make an extra special effort to share with you way more of the behind-the-scenes action of the Fuel Girls, and what it’s actually like to tour the world, perform and breathe fire. We’ll go into detail on how we keep fit, how we rehearse, and the insane amount of work that goes into our performances before we set anything alight! 

This is an incredible opportunity for us to speak more with our amazing followers, and we want you to get as involved as possible – so let us know what you want to hear about – comment below or send us a DM! 

Now for our first post, I wanted to talk a little bit about one question we’re asked almost continuously: how do we stay fit on the road? 

Before I say anything, let me make one thing clear: we LOVE our jobs. 

Touring the world and performing in front of incredible audiences is one of the most rewarding careers ever.

The Fuel Girls in Dubai, Cyprus, London…… and Ibiza!

We’ve just been over to Dubai for the launch of a new superclub called ‘BASE’ and it was great fun! We opened up alongside 50 Cent and Swedish House Mafia amongst others and it was such a buzz – we will be back at the end of the year and absolutely love Dubai!

This weekend we head off to Ammos Beach Bar in Cyprus for a weekend of beaches, music, cocktails and of course, fire! Summer vibes are in the air and we love this club so much! If you are ever in Makenzy Beach make sure you get yourselves down here for a great night out and even greater food!

But thats got us thinking….. Ibiza! WHY have The Fuel Girls never performed here??? Why!!! There are so many amazing clubs and parties and it seems crazy that we have literally been ALL over the world and never to Ibiza! This must be fixed 🙂 Ibiza GET IN TOUCH 🙂 Let us know what the best clubs are people! Where do you like to party?
