Scope of Services

THE BECKYS PERFORMANCE/SERVICES BREAKDOWN The following is a brief rundown of our most requested acts & services. All acts, services, costumes, and characters are flexible. They are custom-designed to fit the needs and themes of your event with the intent to create a truly divine experience.  

Speciality Acts AERIAL DANCE: Aerial modern dance is a sub-genre of modern dance first recognized in the United States in the 1970s. The choreography incorporates an apparatus often attached to the ceiling, allowing performers to explore space in three-dimensions. The ability to incorporate vertical, as well as horizontal movement paths, allows for innovations in choreography and movement vocabulary.

 

Aerial Silks: Also known as aerial ribbons, aerial tissues, fabric, ribbon, silk, tissue, and chiffon.  This act consists of one or two aerial dancers.  The cirque performer climbs the fabric with grace and beauty.  They lock their legs or feet in a knot and prepare for depth defining drops and dance in the air with fluidity and grace.   Aerialists wow the audience as laws of gravity are broken right before their eyes.  

Corde Lisse: This is also known as Aerial Rope, where a single rope is used in the same way that Aerial Silks are used.

Speciality Acts

AERIAL DANCE: Lyra: Aerialists perform on a metal hoop that is either suspended in air stationary or gliding through the air on a pulley system.  Contortion, poses, and dance are performed by the aerialist while suspended.   Additional aerial acts include: Aerial Harness, Aerial Straps, Hammock, and Trapeze.

HOOP DANCING: Hoop Dance, commonly referred to as Hooping, is a selfexpressive movement art form that involves dancing with a hoop. Hoopers commonly refer to the hoop as their dance partner, because of the rhythmic bond that is created with one's hoop while dancing. Hooping can involve technical moves and tricks along with free-style dancing. Hoopers use heavy, large hoops that are usually hand-made and personalized with shiny, colorful tape. The movement of the hoop performance includes fluid transitions on and off the entire body. Dance fusion has entered the world of hoop dance to create all sorts of variety like Hoop Yoga, Hoop Burlesque, Hip-Hop Hoop, LED Hooping, and even Fire Poi Hooping.

Speciality Acts

FIRE DANCE: Fire dancing (aka "fire twirling," "fire spinning," "fire performance," or "fire manipulation") is a group of performance arts or disciplines that involve manipulation of objects on fire. Typically these objects have one or more bundles of wick, which are soaked in fuel and ignited. Some of these disciplines are related to juggling or baton twirling (both forms of object manipulation), and there is also a link between fire dancing and rhythmic gymnastics. Fire dancing is often performed to music. Fire dancing is a very dangerous performance art, and fire safety precautions should always be taken. Because of this The Beckys fire dancers will always be bonded and all venues must be fire- ready. The types of fire performance that The Beckys offer are:

Poi: The literal translation of Poi is “ball on a cord”; and originated with the Maori tribe of New Zealand. Poi creates beautiful circular patterns of light all around the body entrancing both the audience and performer.

Staff: Staff dancing is known for it's warriorlike, powerful movements and is performed with a staff with fire wicks on each end.

Fire Fans: Fans are one of the most graceful forms of fire dancing. They allow the freedom to incorporate many different styles of dance and creative expression into a performance. They are absolutely mesmerizing to watch.

Speciality Acts Fire Hoop: This is a hula-hoop with 5-8 wicks that extend out of the hoop that are equipped with fire wicks at the ends. This is a super sexy act as the performer manipulates a circle of fire around her body.

Fire Eating & Fleshing: This daring art form requires great skill and deep focus as the fire is almost magically drawn across body parts and placed into the mouth.

Fire breathing: This is a favorite of all the fire acts. It heralds back to the day of “old school circus” This act is our fearless breather blowing huge balls of fire into the air.

Speciality Acts THE SIRENS: This act is either done onstage or in a cage. The performers create massive sparks with hand held metal grinding power tools. Grinding off of each other’s metal bikini’s, tools, and surrounding metal objects illuminates the audience with a spectacular explosion of sparks. Imagine mini-fireworks shooting through the air all around their bodies!

STILT WALKERS: Stilts are poles, posts or pillars used to allow a person or structure to stand at a distance above the ground. Walking stilts are poles equipped with steps for the feet to stand on, or straps to attach them to the legs, for the purpose of walking while elevated above a normal height. We have a large network of amazing stilt walkers, who can become any character the client can dream up. The performers also perform juggling, hula-hooping and acrobat moves while on stilts.

Speciality Acts   Hand balancing Contortion: A duo acrobatics| acrobalance | adagio act that sets itself apart from the rest. Contortion (sometimes contortionism) is an unusual form of physical display which involves the dramatic bending and flexing of the human body. An adagio act is an acrobatic dance in which one partner lifts and carries the other partner as she/he performs splits and other flexible poses. Performers might choose a style that is beautiful, athletic, weird, shocking, sensual, erotic or humorous, and each has fans that prefer that particular style, sometimes to the exclusion of other styles.

POLE DANCING: Pole dance is a form of performing art, a combination of dance and gymnastics. It involves dancing and performing acrobatic tricks with a vertical pole and is an increasingly popular form of fitness and dance.

Speciality Acts

CONTACT JUGGLERS: Contact juggling is a form of object manipulation that focuses on the movement of objects such as balls in contact with the body. Although often used in conjunction with "toss juggling", it differs in that it involves the rolling of one or more objects without releasing them into the air. Our contact juggler will hypnotize an audience with strong focus on the majesty of the juggler’s talent. Our styles are divided into three main techniques:

Isolation: Isolation is the manipulation of a ball so that it appears to be suspended in place. Similar to sleight-of-hand techniques in magic or fixedpoint mime techniques; the performers exploit the clear surface of the ball to hide any noticeable rotation, creating the effect that the ball is still while the performer moves around the ball.

Body Rolling: Body rolling involves manipulating one or more props (usually balls) around the hands, arms, and other parts of the body. Balance is required to hold the ball in various positions of control. This includes tricks such as head-rolling and the butterfly, the trick of rolling the ball from the palm to the back of the hand via the fingertips.

Palm Spinning: Palm spinning involves manipulating one or more balls in the open hand so that at least one ball is in motion. Balls may be in both hands or transferred between hands to form graceful and fluid patterns, including rotating a pyramid made of four or five balls in one hand.

Speciality Acts

MAGICIANS: Crowd interaction is most successfully executed by allowing the guest to feel they have an impact on the performance taking place before their eyes.  They want to be pleased, impressed, and delighted by the mystery of magic. Our magicians are not only entertaining characters, they are live roaming interactions. Some skills include ballon animals and card tricks.

SNAKE CHARMING: Snake charming is the practice of pretending to hypnotize a snake by playing an instrument. A typical performance may also include handling the snakes or performing other seemingly dangerous acts, as well as other street performance staples, like juggling and sleight of hand. Our sexy snake charmer will captivate the audience with the allure of the its apparent danger and excitement.

Speciality Acts

PARASOL/FAN DANCING: A parasol or fan dance is a dance performed with one or more parasols or fans. In the West, a parasol or fan dance is often an erotic dance performance, traditionally by a woman. The performer, either entirely nude or apparently so, dances while moving two large fans, typically constructed from ostrich feathers. The essence of the choreography is suggestion, limiting the parts of the body exposed to the audience while focusing attention on illusions of exposure. A parasol or fan dance can be viewed for erotic stimulation, aesthetic appreciation of grace and beauty, and for simple amazement of the skill of the illusion.

Performers often evoke illusions of: • having already seen what had never been exposed, • not being able to shift one's gaze fast enough to see what seems surely to be presently exposed, or • being aware of currently "seeing" what in fact is not exposed to be seen.

Speciality Acts   ISIS WINGS: Wing dancing is similar to poi but with giant wings as extensions of the dancers’ arms. It includes spinning, twirling, choreographed routines, contortion, and the illusion of gliding through the space.

SCARF DANCE:  Dancers twirl and twist the fabric over and around their body as they hypnotize you with their graceful movements. The performer makes you feel as though they are being blown by the wind.

Speciality Acts RIBBON RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS: The stick can be any color and is made of wood, bamboo, plastic or fiberglass. The top of the stick where the ribbon is attached may consist of either a supple strap of string, nylon or a metal ring that is lengthened by nylon or metallic thread. Compulsory elements for the ribbon include flicks, circles, snakes and spirals, and throws. It requires a high degree of coordination to form the spirals and circles. During a ribbon routine, large, smooth and flowing movements are performed.

 

WHIP PERFORMANCE:  Sexy cowgirl or Dominatrix with traditional bullwhip tricks will wake up the energy of any party with its commanding sounds and seductive flow. This is a full size bullwhip so it works well in venues with a good amount of space. The whip artist is also skilled in a form of “whip target practice” to focus on a certain object fitting to the theme of the event.   However, she is not going to execute that on a real human!

We choreograph our moves to all music types. Our Diversity runs from Hip Hop and Dubstep to 1920s swing.

EN POINTE BALLERINAS: En Pointe (Pointe) means "on the tip" and is a part of classical ballet technique, usually practiced using specially reinforced shoes called pointe shoes or toe shoes. The technique developed from the desire for dancers to appear weightless and sylph-like and has evolved to enable dancers to dance on the tips of their toes for extended periods of time.

JAZZ TAP DANCE: often referred to tap dance because tap dancing, set to jazz music, was one of the predominant dances of the era. Jazz dance evolved over time to spawn a diverse range of social and concert dance styles. During the later jazz age, popular forms of jazz dance included the Cakewalk, Black Bottom, Charleston, Jitterbug, Boogie Woogie, swing and the related Lindy Hop.

.

MODERN JAZZ DANCE: is frequently influenced by other dance styles such as acro, ballet, contemporary, lyrical, and hip-hop. Modern jazz dance encompasses various techniques, including:

Center control By treating the center of balance as the point from which movements emanate, it becomes possible to maintain balance and control while executing movements that would otherwise take the dancer off balance.

Pointing When pointing, dancers stretch their ankles and point their toes so as to align their feet with the leg lines in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

Spotting This enables dancers to maintain balance and control while executing turns such as pirouettes and fouettés, by reducing the dizzying effect of repeated rotation.

BURLESQUE: is a literary, dramatic or musical work intended to cause laughter by caricaturing the manner or spirit of serious works, or by ludicrous treatment of their subjects. The word derives from the Italian burlesco, which itself derives from the Italian burla – a joke, ridicule or mockery.
