Fire Dance is a vigorous dance form, performed by the Jasnaiths of
Bikaner and
Churu districts of
Rajasthan. It is performed bare footed on a bed of burning coal with the dancers swaying to the rhythmic beat of a drum. The pace of the dance increases to the tune of drumbeat and finally ends with the dancers dancing on brightly glowing ambers - both an awe-inspiring and a breath-taking sight indeed!.
Most noteworthy feature is that the dancer never develops even a blister on his foot.
Fire Dance is usually performed during the winter nights.
