Group Activities
Being in a fire tribe is much like being in a circus family. The most common thing people do is practice together. It takes a lot of time to learn difficult moves, and a lot more time to learn how to work them into a routine with other people involved.
Practicing partner moves is also a good reason to get involved with a fire troupe. Once a level of trust has been built between two or more people, they can practice intricate choreographies, often with the fire coming very close to another person. Some of the most common partner props are poi, contact/single staff, hoop, and fans.

Famous quotes containing the words group and/or activities:
“The trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink. So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together, and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it. To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit.”
—George Mikes (b. 1912)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
