Remember how fun it was twirling things when you were a kid? These people never outgrew that – in fact, they combined their love of twirling with fire to create a performance art called Fire Dancing [wiki] (or Fire Spinning).

Here’s a fantastic Fire Poi Dancing photoset on Flickr, just to show you what can be done if you like playing (non-destructively) with fire. More info at Play Poi. Kids, don’t try this at home.

    My friend Eivin Kilcher does fire poi up here in Alaska. I posted a video of him with my cell phone to YouTube.

    (Oh, by the way, there's some NSFW language used in that video by people other than myself. Sorry about that!)

    For more fire spinning, check out Unifire Theatre, based out of Asheville, NC. These guys are incredible.
