Transform Your Life
With JoyRyder

Modelling

I've been in front of the camera since high school, and by the time I landed in Cape Town, modelling and film work had become a regular part of my life. What I love most is the transformation - the wardrobe, the makeup, the way a lens can reveal a completely different side of someone. It never gets old.

With years of experience across different photographers, locations, and styles, I bring versatility that makes it easy to tailor a shoot to exactly what you or your brand needs. Whether it's editorial, commercial, or something completely unique - I know how to bring it to life in front of the camera.

My Fire Dancing Journey

My passion for fire dancing sparked four years ago at Afrika Burn, during the mesmerising Dance of a Thousand Flames before the Clan burn - watching performers wield props in a fiery spectacle left me hooked! "I've got to learn this!" I thought. Over the next year, I honed my skills with poi, building confidence to perform. I invested in more props, expanding my repertoire, and though there's always more to master, fire calls to me like a moth to a flame - it's in my stars!

Fire dancing ignites my soul, blending thrill, artistry, and raw energy. While not a certified teacher, I offer engaging workshops in fire dancing with props like poi for beginners and enthusiasts, guiding you to safely discover this captivating art.

Primarily, I specialise in electrifying fire performances at events such as festivals, parties, weddings, and cultural celebrations - creating hypnotic displays that dazzle audiences and light up the night. I tailor routines to fit your theme, ensuring a safe, spectacular show.

My Roller Skating Journey

I kicked off my roller skating adventure on my 30th birthday with a dream pair of skates - what started as a whim quickly became a beloved hobby! Soon after, I connected with my coach at Elemental Flow Skating Academy, who guided me through the basics and beyond. A year in, I joined the Junior Blades ice skating club, mastering artistic skating and progressing through graded elements - it's tough but incredibly rewarding.

Skating gives me wings, freeing my spirit and fuelling my excitement for what's next.

Primarily, I thrive on performance skating at events like parties, festivals, corporate functions, and gatherings - delivering crowd-pleasing routines that bring energy and applause. From smooth glides to artistic flair, I customise shows to make your occasion unforgettable.

Stilt Dancing

A friend, a pair of stilts, and one lap around the block - that's all it took. Seven years later, I'm still up there, dancing above the crowd and loving every second of it. Yes, I've taken a fall (my knee remembers), but as they say - the show must go on.

Stilts give me my own mobile stage, and I bring it wherever the party is. Whether it's a festival, a launch, or a celebration, a stilt performer turns heads and sets the tone before a single word is spoken.

My Dance Journey

I began dancing at age 3 with ballet, soon adding modern and tap. After school, contemporary became my favourite - blending emotion and athleticism. Ballet remains my core, building strength, discipline, and grace.

Dance fuels my soul and aids my healing - it's my lifelong passion. While not a certified teacher, I offer fun workshops in ballet, modern, tap, and contemporary for all levels, helping you discover the joy of movement.

Primarily, I specialise in captivating performances at events like weddings, parties, corporate gatherings, and festivals. From elegant solos to energetic routines, I tailor shows to elevate your occasion.

Yoga & Pilates

I blend Yoga and Pilates into sessions that keep clients strong, flexible, and never bored. By combining the best of both, I create workouts that suit all ages and levels - building confidence and progress in equal measure.

Group sessions work beautifully for company wellness days, team building, or any occasion where you want people to move, connect, and leave feeling better than when they arrived.

Curating Event Entertainment

Need entertainment that fits your event perfectly? I put together solo or group performances tailored to your theme, venue, and vision - with a team that's professional, high-energy, and impossible to ignore.

Choose from podium dancers, fire performers, stilt walkers, roller skaters, flow artists, and aerial performers. Pair them with costumes from my extensive wardrobe, or let me create something completely bespoke for the occasion.

Custom Costume Creation

A glue gun during Covid - that's where it all began. What started with decorating jackets and painting furniture quickly grew into building full characters from head to toe, using recycled and up-cycled materials wherever possible.

I don't do fast fashion. I ask what you already have, and we build from there - because so much already exists, it just needs a little creativity and joy. Whether it's a customised painted denim piece or an entire one-of-a-kind character for your next event, I'll make sure you stand out.

Got something in mind? Let's create it together.
