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:
“This Indian camp was a slight, patched-up affair, which had stood there several weeks, built shed-fashion, open to the fire on the west.... Altogether it was about as savage a sight as was ever witnessed, and I was carried back at once three hundred years.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself—a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
