Fire Dance Kit

The Fire Dance Kit includes a pair of Lotus Petal fire fans with 3 wicks, a pair of Threeworlds Sushi fire palms and a complete Fire Fly Gora, with its Kevlar wick, retractable chains and two spring-loaded cases. Equipment reserved for adults trained in fire handling.

Fire Dance Kit: fans, fire palms and Fire Fly:

The Fire Dance Kit brings together three complementary props to build fire dance choreographies. The Lotus Petal fans accompany body movements with six points of flame. The Sushi fire palms extend the gestures of the palms and arms. The Fire Fly Gora brings a different effect: the illusion of a fireball levitating between the hands.

This set is intended for artists who want to vary effects throughout a performance, alternating circular movements, expressive gestures and manipulation sequences. Each prop has its own handling and requires separate practice, without lighting.

This kit gathers the manipulation props. It does not on its own constitute complete safety equipment for fire practice. Also discover our selection of fire equipment.

A pair of Lotus Petal fire fans:

Inspired by lotus petals, the Lotus Petal fire fans feature a fine welded spring steel structure and a glossy black powder-coated finish. Each fan carries three 50 mm Kevlar wicks, sewn without visible screws at the wicks.

Their weight of 355 g per fan makes changes of direction and choreographic sequences easier. The HoP ergonomic handle allows a stable grip, while the integrated rotation ring offers spinning possibilities and transitions between grips.

Manipulation without throws: the Lotus Petal are designed for dance and technical movements. Throws, repeated drops and compression during transport can deform their structure.

A pair of Threeworlds Sushi fire palms:

The Sushi fire palms, also called Fire Palms, place a flame above each palm. They accompany dance gestures without requiring throws or catches. The supports slide onto the hands, palms facing up, and are adjusted by gently bending the metal wire.

This version is equipped with 25 mm Kevlar wicks, with a stated distance of 10 cm between the palm and the wick. Its weight of only 25 g per hand limits the added load on the wrists. The Sushi assembly produces a more contained flame than the Isis version of the same range.

The kit contains exclusively the Sushi fire palms. Their low weight and more contained flame do not dispense with prior training in fire handling.

A Fire Fly Gora for a levitation effect:

The Fire Fly Gora creates the illusion of a fireball floating between the hands. Its central wick is connected to two retractable chains, each controlled by a spring-loaded retraction mechanism. The cases are attached to the fingers using leather straps adjustable with screws.

The chains follow the opening and closing of the hands, with a maximum extension of 60 cm on each side. This prop lends itself to theatrical sequences and movements that highlight a single flame.

By detaching one chain, the Fire Fly can also be used in a mono poi configuration, with a single fire bolas. This configuration also requires specific training without lighting.

NetJuggler's opinion on the Fire Dance Kit:

The interest of this kit lies in the complementary nature of the effects. The fans draw shapes around the body, the fire palms emphasize gestures and the Fire Fly focuses attention on a flame that seems to float. This combination allows you to vary the sequences of a show while keeping a common thread around dance and manipulation.

The Lotus Petal and Sushi palms provide a low weight that is appreciated for choreographies. The Fire Fly requires more work to coordinate the hands with the movement of the chains. We therefore recommend this set to adults already trained in fire who wish to broaden their practice.

The limits to know are specific to each prop: the fans must be protected from deformation, the fire palms require careful adjustment and the Fire Fly chains need good alignment during movements.

For what type of practice?

• Fire dance, flow arts and body expression.
• Creation of choreographed acts alternating several props.
• Adult artists already trained in fire handling and fire safety.
• Rehearsals without lighting to learn movements, adjust supports and prepare transitions.
• Lit practice in a suitable, clear and authorized space, with a dedicated safety person.

Optional complementary products:

A fire fan cover helps protect the Lotus Petal during transport. Avoid placing heavy objects on their structure and store them only after complete cooling.

Kevlar forearm gloves can complete your equipment. They are sold individually: plan for two pieces for both arms. They do not allow direct contact with flames.

Adjustments and maintenance before use:

• Check the wicks, seams, supports and fastenings before each session.
• Adjust the fire palms cold and check their hold without lighting.
• On the Fire Fly, check the movement of the chains and the operation of both retraction mechanisms.
• Keep the Fire Fly leather straps away from fuel.
• Allow the props to cool completely before storing them or re-impregnating their wicks.
• Stop use in case of deformation, damaged wick or defective mechanism.

Specific instruction for the Fire Fly: do not over-tighten the leather straps. You must be able to remove the prop yourself and quickly. Never put fuel on the leather and do not use the Fire Fly if its straps have been contaminated with fuel.

Risk of burns and fire: this kit is reserved for adults trained in fire practice. Practice without lighting before any lit use. Never practice alone and provide a dedicated safety person as well as suitable extinguishing means, immediately accessible. Keep flames away from the face, body, audience and flammable materials. Tie back hair, wear suitable clothing, take wind into account and follow the manufacturers' instructions as well as local restrictions.
