Fire Dancing – Wedding Entertainment

Fire Dancer

If you want something unique or you want to add some exciting entertainment on your special day, you can hire the fire dancers. Seeing only one fire dancer makes us amused, how much more with the fire dancers troupe. Fire dancers can do dance with the flaming fans, burning hula hoops,and  fire whips. They will really bring your entertainment a one of a kind party.

With flame dancers on your special day, it will really level up the party but you can enhance your party with choosing a wedding theme. A circus-themed will overpower the guests with fire jugglers, while tropical themes can have tribal dance troupes doing the twirl of staves in flame. They only not provide entertainment but comes with dramatic lightning too. It actually depends on the fire dancers if they will use their own pre-recorded music or you will be requesting a sounds for the performance. As the performers dance, when guests will be watching and taking pictures, they will be amazed with the photo shots because it will result as fantastic pictures of fire being twirled. Also one of the advantage here is that the hot feeling from the performers will give the guests a warm feeling on cold evening.

 What are the types of Fire Dancing

  • Poi Spinning

– a traditional dance from New Zealand. This dance will have to use gorged balls to be swung at the end of bonds. The balls will be lit with fire and when the dancer starts to move, it creates swirling comets around the dancer also when she change movements.

  • Staff Spinning

– a fire dance that uses a flaming stick in both ends. The way to use it to twirl it with the beat, also throw it up or pass between legs, leaving the fire lines in the air with nice designs.

  • Flaming Finger fans

– a fussy dance develop from the dancer’s hands with a flaming tip on each fan blade. The dancer will perform with the hand movements using the flaming fan.

  • Fire hoops

– a lot like hula hoops but the difference here is that it have five or six flames projecting at intervals around the outside of the hula hoop. When the dancer makes the move, the effect looks impressive.

There are many other forms in Fire dancing too. Also when the fire dancer performs the flaming whips, it leaves trails of fire temporarily on the ground. Also the performer can’t be harmed when the flaming parts hit their body. There are physical props that has been ready to have great effect, you can also looks for fire dancers so that you could contribute your moves, vice versa and that you can make a group of fire dancers.

It’s always nice to remember those old entertainment that uses fire such as Fire juggling, fire-breathing, and fire eating. These old entertainments are a good pair with the fashionable one. They create a good show for the guests. You can choose who do you want from them.

Fire Dancing At Night

Showmanship

Fire Spinning is an extravagant art form. Must hire professional and skilled fire dancers for your special day and make sure they can make impress the audiences because just performing is not that enough, the expertise with the fire is much appreciated. It will be seen on their facial expressions and body language that they are good enough to be called as great performer. It may take few months or a year to master the difficult skills. Well, everything starts with a practice.

Safety

When looking for a professional performer, you are also looking for a safety awareness. You need to hire someone who can do multitasking like when they are in troupes, when someone got hurt, then maybe at least one or two from them knows first aid medications and always ready with some important materials in case of emergency. This is only a remember to you because when you will be hiring a non-performer then you will pay for the extra expenses when they just injured. Being a skilled fire dancer, it is not just a simple dance, it takes hours to days for the professionals to master all the new movements they want to learn. Fire dancers really do have precautions when they be in practice. They make sure they wet their hair first, wears only natural fibers that won’t easily got melted. When dancers start to perform, they can’t invite the audiences to do the same thing but they can invite audiences to come near them but it also depends on the type of fire dancing they’re doing. Children must watch with adult supervision and not too close with the performers.

Nowadays, Fire dancing became popular especially on special events on any particular locations mostly like on the beach and many other places. Amateur fire spinners also can’t be trusted that easily, what if they tossed a flaming hoop into the place and maybe they can’t afford to catch it. You can also look for great performers by canvassing like you can try to check it on the internet for the most recommended fire performers. Safety is important.

Whenever you choose where to hold your wedding reception, make sure the location is away from flammable materials like the indoor, also when on the open place, a fireproof materials is recommended. There is also a good effect outdoor on the evening and it has a spectacular effect. Big open spaces are really good for a fire dancing performance.

Professionalism

Before anything else or before you make your decision in hiring a fire dancer, be sure that you understand their terms and conditions, like are they expecting you to pay upfront full payment or down-payment? Are they asking you for a transportation fee? Is there any specific hours or minutes in doing the performance because mostly performers have a busy schedules, like they have two hours performance only with you and after they perform to your reception, they will travel to another event. You also need to get their contact information so that you can keep in touch with them, maybe you have last-minute suggestions, questions or clarifications. They must arrive one-two hours before the event starts so that they can set up everything in a peaceful way.

Also fire performers have pricing options, it depends on your budget. How many performers you will be hiring, is it only one performer or two or three, Be sure you can get the affordable yet amazing kind of performance. Sometimes when you will hiring a group or performers, they cost too much since your paying for each performer. Well, that depends for the promotions on the performers. Good to work with friendly and approachable group of fire performers.

Usually payment is expected right after the show like the full payment. Mostly some performers ask for down payment but that can be negotiable. If you don’t want to be disturbed on your special day, you can ask somebody like a trusted friend or family member to pay for the remaining balance. Well, giving tips is not that important since you are paying them but they are actually appreciated if you admire their performance.

When you finally chose the fire dancers you want on your party, you guaranteed the guests for a warm and dramatic performance. They will be amazed as well as entertained. To spiced up the event, you can also give sparklers to each guests so that they can feel that they can be fire dancers too in an easy way.
