Best Choice Of Fire Performance – Fire Fans

Fire fans are often used in belly dance, especially in tribal fusion belly dance styles. Belly dancers typically move fire fans more slowly and in combination with the layered hip and arm dance movements distinctive to the art of belly dance.

Some fire fan performers combine the slower, more graceful, more dance-centric moves of belly dance with the faster, more trick-oriented moves of tech spinners to create a hybrid style of performance.

What You Can Do With Fire Fans?

Guide To Using Your Fire Fans 

  • When soaking your fire fans, submerge the Kevlar rope or wicks evenly in your fuel (usually kerosene) of choice, making sure to soak all the wick for a maximum flame effect and even burning.
  • Remove excess fuel before lighting by squeezing or using the blotting method. While still holding the soaked fire-head down, a firm downwards ‘shake’ will help ensure no excess fuel flies out when in use.
  • Then simply light each fan and once the flames are evenly spread over the rope or wicks – dance, twirl, spin and enjoy! We recommend starting slowly at first, being careful to watch for any excess fuel spraying out of the wick.
  • Once your routine has finished, or the wicks start to flicker due to the fuel being used up, extinguish the flames. Allow at least a few seconds for the wicks to cool down, then lightly re-soak the wicks in fuel. Extinguishing the flames rather than letting them burn out, followed by cooling by re-soaking the wicks, will help prevent them smouldering. Smouldering can reduce the life of the wick material.
  • Once the wick is no longer available, please follow this video to replace it with the new one.
  • Safety notice.
