What do you think of FIRE DANCING?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering what everyone thought about fire dancing? Does anyone here know others that fire dance?

I watched a friend and his girlfriend do some fire dancing last weekend, and I was really turned on by the moves once they got going. I am going in to a dance studio on Tuesday night to try my hand at some basic moves. I have been told that it's something that I would be very good at, so I am very, very excited to begin!!!

Two of my friends fire dance.

One of them was a gymnast previously and the other is just amazingly talented at everything he does so they're both quite good. They perform at dance parties and that kind of thing, just using the sticks and pois. I think it's great, whenever they're bored they both whip out the fire sticks and we'll watch them for as long as they can keep it up. I'd imagine it's quite draining both pysically and mentally... but yeah, good luck with it! i'd love to try but i think i'm way to unco-ordinated to play with fire. :$

I think it would be most righteous for you to fire dance at the Bon Fire at this years Eloy holiday boogie. It would look awesome on the boogie video so don't disappoint us :P

If I pursue it fully, then no problem, Scott. I will fire dance for you and my friends anytime, anywhere! :)

strong and sensual.B|:) best of both Worlds.;)
THe dancing movment of a woman in sensual dance(Hell, any dance that's NOT ballet) is a gift to man kind. If I could fire dance and show my sexuality as virility towards woman, then I would (I'm Celtic=hairy Viking like). I do like to strip tease though;)

It's funny...I didn't know what fire dancing was until several months ago. When I heard about it, I thought that it would be boring, but I just happened to see a couple of fire dancers last weekend who seemed to enjoy it so much that I got the sudden urge to try it.

THIS
is a picture (Diablopilot's pic) that I found on DZ.com of a firedancer at Chick's Rock.

I LOVE self-expression through body movement...that is why I skydive and rockclimb. Even when I draw or sketch something...it's often to music, and I get into a state of mind with an artistic "rhythm" or "dance" that gets faster and faster as the strokes move out of my whole body from my fingertips...and onto the paper. That's why as an artist, I usually draw and paint standing and using easels.

I also want VERY BADLY to learn to play the drums...hard core drums, but that will have to be next year or the year after. I can only squeeze in so much this year. :)

There is a fire dancer who jumps at my home DZ. When the weather is warmer, she frequently treats us to an evening performance. It's really a lot of fun to watch.

fire is hot, and if you stand in it TOO long, you will burn your clothes or body. I can drink beer in a fire, but not chug a whole one.
with sticks or batons......interesting visuals.

what is really cool.....stuntpeople that do whole body burns. THey ACTUALLY dance on fire.
but whatever floats your boat.

:ph34r:

Are you serious?

Please click on the attachment in my prior post to see a pic of "fire dancing". ;)



serious about standing in fire? sure, why not.
it's not like it burns you immediately. campfires are made to be jumped over.

I have tried juggling flaming balls (baseballs + gas), and that is kind of fun. It looks pretty sweet too, if I may say (biased opinion).

Dancing around with fire sticks? yeah, that looks cool too. especially on some -------- ---- -----------

Fire dancing is awesome! I've been fire juggling, fire eating, fire dancing and fire walking for about ten years now. I made a living from it for five of those years. It put me through college. It's a very intense experience.

If you're interseted in getting into this, find a teacher you trust and learn the basics of manipulation with practice tools before you set stuff on fire. The key to success is to understand that fire is a powerful element and is very much its own boss. Learn how it behaves in different conditions and obey the limits. believe me, I learned that from experience!!!!

When you feel confident enough to use fire, begin with faster burning fuel like lighter fluid. Just remeber that the quicker a fuel burns, the more volatile it is. Take necessary precautions with your fuel container.

Anyhow, if you have questions, feel free to PM me. I'll post some cool pics later if you want. I just gotta reduce them...

Rosa, I think that if you decided excell in fire dancing you would be awesome - You are a bit on the shy side from what I have seen, not a bad thing, mind you, but some of the garments (Read: Lack Of Garments) for sensuality, as well as safety, wouldn't fit what I know of you so far.

That being said: I could be wrong. I also think you should follow whatever whim you have at the moment and go for it. Yes, you would be great.
