Performance Artist Ali

Engaging in hoops, fire, stilts, aerial performances—and sometimes all at once—international performance artist Ali crafts an intricate dance of joy and wonder. She discovered the hoop in 2006 and has been expanding her movement repertoire ever since. Exploring tribal fusion belly dance, Balinese dance, and the classical Indian Odissi dance, along with an extensive array of fire and circus tools, grants Ali diverse opportunities to share her enchantment and magic.

Based in New York, Ali offers a range of services including extravagantly costumed stilt walking, hula hooping with 1-7 hoops, programmable LED hula hoops to match any theme, fire performance (using fire hoops, fire fans, fire belts, fire headdresses, large fire props, etc.), aerial hoop, Tribal Fusion belly dance, Odissi (classical Indian dance), and the musical saw. She also collaborates with numerous artists and has some exclusive high-end boutique acts, such as the Intergalactic LED Stilting Unicorn Trio.

Ali performs at festivals worldwide and has been featured on “Project Runway” as the winning look on stilts. She appears on stage and screen, as well as in the pages of Marie Claire, Juxtapoze Magazine, W Magazine, India Times, Australia’s “Mix” Magazine, Bill Cunningham’s Style Section of the New York Times, and Polyprohoops.com.
