Class Info
This 3-day class will teach you all about fire eating, from basics to advanced tricks and performance.
Prerequisites
This class is open to everyone - no previous fire play or fire dance experience is necessary.
Course Overview
Each class meets for 1-2 hours, depending on number of students.
Class 1: Torch making
All materials and instruction will be provided, and you'll go home with your own set of 3 eating torches. I'll show you how these same techniques can be used for making fire fingers or other fire toys. I'll also cover fire safety, fire eating theory, and show you techniques to practice so you're comfortable, confident, and ready to eat fire in class 2.
Class 2: Fire Eating!
Bring your new torches and learn to eat fire! Fuel and fire safety cloth will be provided. First I'll cover health and safety issues: what kind of fuel tastes best, what will kill you and what won't, how to deal with dragon belches afterwards (yuk!). Then, we'll use a 4-step learning method which will bring your comfort level up to the point that you will actually extinguish your torch in your mouth by the end of the lesson.
Class 3: Fire Eating Tricks, Contact, and Performance
Now that you're a fire eater, it's time to learn some additional tricks, including "dragon's breath", tongue and body transfers, and fire contact. I'll also talk about fire eating performance - what works and what doesn't in front of an audience, and why. Create your own fire eating "show" and perform in front of the class!
