| OUR STORY
|
| FIRST TIME WE MET EACH OTHER
|
|
In Tignes, November 1999, I head in a youth hostel to find out a
job and a place to stay for the season. Hardly unloaded, two girls offerted me a drink, one of her was called Marielle; the continuation guess it...
Nothing predestined them at this time to become professionnal fire dancers. |
 |
 |
I cannot forget the first time that i saw him getting in the youth hostel. He had something more than others do not have, I have been immediately attracted.
From this day, we have traversed many tests, we did not suspect at this time how much we could do all together. |
|
| AND THEN WE MET THE MASTER |
| |
In the Golden Gate Park (San Francisco - US), there is a man who handles fire with a disconcerting skill. It has wild air and a mystical breath surrounds him. It is the first fire dancer I met, he's the one who initiated me. I've start to imitate him and immediately became more than friends, kind of familly.
Marielle joined me in San Francisco. Hardly unloaded, I took her to the Golden Gate Park; she was also fascinated, transported and initiated too. |
| After only a few days, we put the staff on fire with experienced performers who strongly encourage us to continue. |
At this moment, we knew that we held something and our motivation grew even more.
From this day we've never stopped practicing.
You perhaps saw us at the time of our first shows in the street, espeacially in port of Hyeres, in Nimes, Cannes, Annecy or somewherewhere... to launchout, we were performing in the street, and all supports from the public was already so strong that I wish to dedicate this website...
The life takes again its course but this fire shows will remain forever to engrave in the memories.

SOME HISTOIRY... |
This is the tools used by the Maori tribe(New-Zealand) in rites of seduction and also at the time of the preparation of fight. |
 Staff : : it is a large stick handled by the men to improve their force and their agility in fight. Nobody really know who brought this art of fire and used fire to transforms this stick into genuine torch.
Poï: : it is a Maori's word which means "ball".
The Maori women used stones attached at an end of a rope and developed in the form of dance their agility and their strengh in perfect coordination.
Also of many similarity with the hula, the dance of the body by the Hawaïs where the fire and its ritual forms was an integral part of these tribes.
