Dancing with Fire

February 23, 2008

By Michele Fralick

The cultural practice of dancing with fire is an ancient Polynesian tradition known as “Poi."

One Grand Junction-based group called “Burning Desert Fire Collective” is keeping the spirit of Poi alive through their artistic fire performances.

Members of the group are also passing the torch through education and instruction of Poi.

News Channel Five’s Michele Fralick caught up with members of the fire and dance group for a lesson of her own.
