Fire dancing?

**placidfemme** · 19th July 2006, 10:44

Does anyone here on KB do any Fire Dancing or Fire Play of any type?

A friend of mine does that fire spitting thing, where you put the liquid in your mouth and spit it out to make a huge flame... she said she would teach me...

But I also want to do fire dancing... but I can't find any equipment that I like the look of...

So far I've found this:

If anyone watches Survivor Exile Island, there was a fire dancing chick on there, and she had similar tools as the above, except hers looked like little cups and not cloth...

Any tips, ideas or suggestions?

All you need is wood and matches, once the coals are ablaze take your shoes and socks off and you get the drift. Dancing becomes a natural phenomenon!

I have been known to get drunk and run around in the odd hangi pit, does that count?

lol I don't really wanna do fire walking...

I've also found the fire juggling sticks... but I suck at juggling... so thats out.

I've also found those long sticks that you twirl around, but that makes me feel like a cheerleader so not really into that either...

Hmmmm I don't watch reality crap, but one of my friends used to be into that and she had a little cup thing at the end as well.... strange.

Yeah I'm not into that shit either, just changed channels and saw her flinging them around without fire in them and the other survivors bitching about it for some reason...

But those little cup things are what I want...

The Dance of the Flaming Arseholes is easy for a newbie. You just need a length of toilet paper and a lighter.

home of poi..... its a NZ site...

Anywho... I'e played around with the fire sticks (like the lenght of a brrom stick... with fire on both ends)... didn't really like that...

But I really like the look of the fire poi's...

*going to go to the warehouse tonight to buy chains and stuff to make my own one to practise with... if I get good at it (without fire) I'll buy the real ones*

Jeepers.. Fire dancing....

While you are at the big red shed getting your chains (hmm) you could pick up some new age trance music CD's, some white tees and baggy pants to tie dye and on the way home get some herbal supplies. Then, if you stop washing this week you should be about right for 'The Gathering' at new years...

Sounds all very 'young' to me dag nab it....
