Maraia's Eden of fire

Here is a beautiful Youtube Clip of Maraia performing a balancing candle piece. The clip is entitled Eden. There isn't much description other than the title provided. But the piece is stunning.


I was searching for a candle piece performance when I stumbled across this clip. I've actually seen this dancer before on other clips and I have visited her website sometime in the past but I never actually saw this clip until recently.

What caught my eye at first was costume choice. Her sleeves are so long and she's balancing fire on her head, that can be a scary situation for even a long time professional. Still, she dances beautifully with the sleeves never interrupting her dance. And she never accidentally steps on them which is most important element of all.

Her floor dancing is dazzling. It's lovely, classy and sensual. She careful, clean and knows her limitations well. But I adore her grace. She helps me visualize how a fire goddess would dance. She very much in control and so relaxed its marvelous.

Next Maraia releases her tray of candle and continues to dance with just her hand veils. She continues to balance her movements with music wonderfully.

When she spins she reminds me of a flower blossoming. This dancer comes to life with music, she is truly a powerful dancer. I'm very happy this video was posted of her.
