Obsidian Butterfly
is a Fire Dance and Performing ARTS Troupe
offering original works of art for the betterment of the world.

Our shows are one of kind and active works of art, no show is the same.  
The stage is our blank canvas and upon it we paint images of
sacred geometry, nature, animals, colors, interwoven with stories of real life, myth, and fairy tales.  

We use multiple styles of dance, movement, and expression
infused with art, music, theatrics, costuming, and ritual to create a story unique to each shows theme.

We have been performing together for 5 years.  
Each member is a master of their h'ART contributing a unique talent.   

We have worked repeatedly with the Sacramento Visitors and Convention Bureau, the Grove of the
Oak, the Gallery Horse Cow, The Brickhouse ART Studios, UNMATA and Hot Pot, as well as
received funding from SMAC (Sacramento Municipal ARTS Commission) to put on Sacramento's
First festival
celebrating Fire, ART, Music, and Dance;
The Fire Spectacular.

Performance Bio
“Water flowing, like a river divine
A Goddess who radiates,
with her heart sublime.
The dance of Calypso
under the fiery moon
She sings the song of beauty,
it's the siren's tune”
