The Element of Fire

Fire is a powerful element. It gives heat during the cold. But once it touches your skin, you can burn. So I was amazed how this new art dance has evolved called fire-dancing.

At the first night when we arrived at Boracay, we strolled along the White Beach and were surprised to find fire dancers. We took pictures of them and decided the next night that we wanted to get a closer look. So the next night we found out about this Beach Bum Bar that was situated in Station 1. We sat there, had a few drinks and watched the fire dancers. Their lounging area was directly located at the beach front and they have night fire-dancing performances starting 9 p.m.

Boracay is the premier party place. You can stroll even after sun set to feast about food, entertainment and drinks. I think this is what sets Boracay apart from the rest.

Well, going back to fire dancing stuffs. Did you know that a famous actress named Rachel Lobangco fell in love with Boracay and decided to learn fire dancing? She has been interviewed a couple of times during newscasts. Unluckily, we were not able to see her there. They say Boracay is booming with celebrities. But  despite the absence of celebrities during our stay. We did enjoy the fire-dancing stuffs. A lady was even standing on two bamboo sticks while doing the fire dance. They were really amazing!

Indeed, it was an overwhelming experience how they learn this craft. A talent that is in tune with the element of fire. It shows that humans can masterfully conquer fire.
