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:
“around our group I could hear the wilderness listen.”
—William Stafford (1914–1941)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
