Behind every big moment is a team of incredible humans helping make the magic happen! 🔥

We want to give a huge shoutout to @justin_amanita & @ian_plimmer ❤️‍🔥 @organic_pyrotechnic all of their love, support, and hard work throughout our America’s Got Talent journey.

Not only did they build some of our specialty props, but they also hauled our gear to Los Angeles, kept us safe backstage, helped solve problems before they became problems, and were the best fire techs and support crew we could have asked for.

The spotlight may have been on us, but there is no way we could have done it without them.

We love you guys to pieces and are so grateful to call you family. ❤️

Show them some love in the comments and give them a follow! 🔥

2025 was a doozy for me— I suffered a major loss that truly broke my heart. I, however, alchemized much of that hurt into ✨golden✨ moments, in creative pursuits, in my community..

most notably— I dreamt up a burning man camp and saw the whole damn thing through to fruition, with the help of many creative and hardworking souls. I choreographed several numbers for our fire troupe, and we absolutely rocked that shyt. I built bonds, anchored in love, practiced patience and surrendered to the moment— time and time again.

I persevered, I expanded my skillset, I led with love, and I felt my heartache and let it change me for the better.

here’s to a new year, more memories, and less “WTF” moments in the coming days…. 🥂

thank you to my sweet friends who held my hand through much of this, to my fire family @sol_risers, and to the earth beneath my feet. I’ve been humbled by it all, and am thankful for all the lessons that have brought me closer to myself 💛

✨ As the year begins to draw to a close, we prepare for our final show of 2025– happening THIS SUNDAY, December 14th at 5pm in front of the @nationalexchangehotel at Victorian Christmas.

❤️‍🔥 We are so grateful to be so well received in our little town! Your cheers, your presence and your support mean the world to us. It’s how we keep getting to do what we love most— to dance with danger and invoke feisty, fiery fun for all!

🫶🏼 If you’d like to help us continue to do what we do, please consider purchasing an official Sol Risers heavyweight hoodie! The funds will go to fuel, studio rentals and our Burning Man Camp needs. You can purchase in-person at our show this Sunday for $70, or DM us to purchase if you are not local.

✨🔥 Fire Conclave 2025 🔥✨

What an honor to stand in the Great Circle this year. To share our light with @fireconclave is something words can barely hold.

We carried more than fire— we carried each other. Through dust and rain storms, countless hours of practice, and the heartbreak of not having our dear Mamabopp (and Colbs) with us on playa…. Still, we rose together. Even in adversity— we found rhythm, beauty and laughter within the flames.

Our gratitude is endless— for our crew, for the larger Conclave family, and for every spark of support that carried us here.

🌞 To rise with the sun and set the night ablaze—what a gift, what an honor.

Here’s to the fire that unites us, and to the family we’ve built in the glow ❤️‍🔥

On Burn Night, find us in the Great Circle at 5:15 (section 11 on the map) — our fiery front row to the best burn on Earth!

Come watch us dance our hearts out, then watch the sparks, flames and fireworks fly!

For the rest of the burn — you can find most of the Sol Risers at 6:15 & Esplanade at Cirque du Sol Risers.

Thank you, @fireconclave for the gift that is organizing so many talented fire artists, personnel and logistics!
