Fire dancing

Also "firedancing," "fire twirling," "fire spinning," or "fire manipulation" A group of Circus-art disciplines that involve manipulation of objects on fire. Typically these objects have one or more bundles of wicking, which are soaked in fuel and lit. Some of these disciplines are related to juggling, and there is also an affinity between firedancing and Rhythmic gymnastics. Firedancing is often performed to music. Fire apparatus can be roughly divided into two groups: rhythmic and non-rhythmic. Rhythmic apparatus are are twirled in circular patterns; non-rhythmic apparatus do not have such clearly defined motions. Some rhythmic fire apparatus are:\n*poi;\n*staff (single or double);\n*batons;\n*meteors (a long rope with wicks on both ends);\n*torches (swung like clubs);\n*fire-knives. Some non-rhythmic fire apparatus are:\n*fans;\n*finger wands;\n*palm torches.
