This workshop is designed as an introduction to using fire for bellydance performances. We'll discuss the difference types of fire props and gear, the types of movements used, special considerations for using fire during performances, and have an in depth discussion and practice on fire safety. Then we'll start working with our first fire prop: hand candles. Students in attendance will receive a certificate of completion for fire dance safety procedures. This workshop is the first in a planned series on fire props and will be a required pre-requisite for attendance for future fire workshops.
