A fire troupe or fire tribe is a group of fire dancers who have come together to work as a team. There are several reasons performers would form or join a fire troupe. These include peer camaraderie, sharing of skills, group practices sessions, motivation, and support from fellow members. Generally, fire troupes come together to create a choreography, or at least a show with fire dancing, fire breathing, and fire eating. They ultimately work towards creating a stage show that will financially support the entire troupe.

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or troupe:
“And where two raging fires meet together;
They do consume the thing that feeds their fury.
Though little fire grows great with little wind,
Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
