subject: The Quick And Easy Way To Hire Fire Dancers [print this page] For a quick and easy time on hiring fire dancers for your event, here's what you should do.
1. Know what you're looking for
There are many kinds of fire dancing or performances that require the use of fire and not all of them may be suitable for your venue or crowd. To avoid booking the wrong group of fire dancers, know exactly what kind of performance youre after.
Traditional Fire Dancing
This type of performance usually involves dancers in traditional Polynesian garb and performing Hawaiian fire knife dancing. Because of the cultural elements of the dance, you can consider it as an educational performance as well if that is your objective.
Standard Modern
Such performances are both interpretative and folk dancing in nature. They are primarily based on the traditional dances of the Maori tribes and use props like poi balls, staffs, and the likes. It is not rare for some groups to combine, however, Polynesian fire knife dancing with Maori poi ball dancing.
Erotic Fire Shows
The theme, costume, dancing, and all other elements of the performance are highly erotic in nature. This is definitely suitable for occasions where all guests are expected to be of legal age.
Ritual Fire Dancing
It may combine different styles of fire dancing but the performance is different from all others in the sense that its main focus is the ritual itself. The dance is simply a requisite part of the ritual.
Fire and Belly Dance
Simply put, such shows combine the dangerous art of fire dancing with the impressively sensual art of belly dancing. The tone of the show may be anything from mildly to overtly sexual so its best to inform the group beforehand about any concerns you may have.
Fire Comedy Jugglers
As its name implies, this comedic act is distinguished from all others by its use of fire as a prop.
Fire Poofing or Breathing
Last but not the least, there are performances that involve death-defying acts of people eating and breathing fire.
2. Determine your venue
Certain types of fire dancing performances may not be appropriate with regard to the venue. Consider issues like adequate ventilation, space, time, safety and security, and the need for fire permits.
3. Determine your budget
Naturally, the bigger your budget, the more options you may have. A solo act is only appropriate if you have a small number of guests to impress and you're satisfied with a brief performance. In most cases, however, a large number of fire dancers are more likely to have an impressive performance.
