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.
