fire dancer
Poi spinner, perhaps
A fire dancer is a performer who manipulates flaming objects—poi, staffs, hoops, fans, or torches—in choreographed movements.
The practice blends dance, circus arts, and controlled danger: Fire dancers performed at the beach party.
Fire dancing appears at festivals, nightclubs, and cultural celebrations, requiring both technical skill and safety training.
