FIRE DANCING SHOWS
We have been fire dancing for a long time now, since the late 1980's. What started as a hobby has turned into a passionate love of fire dancing. We now offer occasional fire dancing lessons in Pretoria South Africa and workshops on fire dancing safety. You can find our fire dance safety tips and some advice here

The Fire dancing pictured above is performed by trained proffesionals and it should not be attempted without the proper safety measures used by our fire dancers. All our fire shows are carefully worked out and venues are thoroughly checked for safety. For some tips on fire dancing safety see our safety tips page
Fire dancing (also known as fire twirling, fire spinning, fire performance, or fire manipulation) is a group of performance arts or disciplines that involve manipulation of various objects on fire. A fire show can consist of any combination of these. Typically these objects or tools have one or more bundles of wicking, which are soaked in fuel and ignited.
Some of these disciplines are related to juggling or baton twirling (both forms of object manipulation), and there is also an affinity between fire dancing and rhythmic gymnastics. Firedancing is usually performed to music, both recorded or even more commonly, live drummimg. Fire dancing has been a traditional part of various cultures from around the world all through recorded history, and modern fire performance often includes visual and stylistic elements from many traditions.
Fire dancing is a very dangerous performance art, and fire safety precautions should always be taken, to protect both the performer and the audience.
