Don't light your skirt while sitting!!! You need to light up your skirt while standing and immediately start spinning!!!

Fire skirt burns for about 3-4 minutes. A full circle burns for about 1 minute.

To be handled with extreme care! Only for experienced, spirited and daring whirling dancers.

The buyer must realize the whole degree of risk when it buys this product.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for the possible consequences from using our skirts!

We do not cover any material damage if you have allergies to this material, if you damaged the skirt, were injured during the performance or brought damage to the surrounding property.

This is a very dangerous equipment and it requires a high level of preparation.

Fire skirt for open-air performances. Based on classic Sufi dress for spiritual whirling. Made of special thick twilled cloth.
Equipped with Kevlar flammable cord. The cord can sustain up to 8 cycles.

We use metal wire to attach the cord to the skirt.

You need to USE GLOVES when you touch the Kevlar cord and dip it into kerosene.

Using our skirts, you need to remember that the cord has to burn itself down during the dance.

It is impossible to stop spinning until the cord completely burns out and cools.

You should fold it in the right way.
Here you can see how to do that

Made to order. Unisex. Available in variety of colours: orange, green, blue, black, red, burgundy.

Darker colours recommended - the skirt is NOT WASHABLE and stains are very likely.
My own orange dress lasts over three years. It's all in stains and marks, but you can't notice them when I am whirling and when I am done, it's usually too dark).

To start we'll need:
- your waist size (How to correctly measure your waist: http://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Your-Waist);
- your height;
- the length of the skirt (our recommendation for the optimal whirling: length from your waistline to floor minus 10 cm or 4 inches);
- your contact number for the post office (for safer delivery).

If within 30 days we do not receive the size of the skirt from you, then the skirt will be sewn in standard sizes.
Waist line is 80 cm adjustable.
The length of the skirt is 85 cm.

Time to process your order - 3-4 weeks plus 2-3 weeks for standard shipping. Faster shipping is available for extra fee - please inquire.

Safety guidelines:
- Do not try fire-whirling unless you are confident and experienced performer. You must be able to keep the skirt fully open while the fire is on (up to 4 minutes).
- There should be no obstacles nor flammable objects in the whirling area.
- There is a safety gap of about 15 cm between the burning cord and the bottom rim of the skirt.

- You need to USE GLOVES when you touch the Kevlar cord.

- Using rubber-gloves soak all of the burning cord in combustible liquid. I use purified kerosene. The purer the liquid - the less smoke it produces - consult your local shop.
- Fire-resistant fabric shall be used whenever available.
- It is highly recommended that you water-soak the bottom of your skirt prior to performance.
- Please have someone nearby with fire-extinguisher and first aid just in case.

Ways of lighting up your fire skirt.
There are several options for firing up a skirt during a spin. I use fire palm candles (hand candles) though this requires some experience. Using a hand torch is another option. If you have an assistant you can use his/her help with lighting up your skirt with a lighter or a candle. A choice of palm candles and torches is available here in our shop or you can get similar products locally or online.

The following instruction refers to setting up a fire skirt.

1. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO WHIRL DURING 30 MINUTES!
Please, do not try fire-whirling unless you are confident whirling performer.
You must be able to keep the skirt fully open while the fire is on (up to 4 minutes).

2. You should water-soak the bottom rim of your skirt prior to performance.
It is convenient to lay the skirt down on the floor and water it from the bottle.
Wet bottom of the skirt is the best fire protection.

3. Using rubber gloves to soak all of the lower burning cord in combustible liquid.

4. Do NOT use of gasoline. I use purified kerosene.
The purer the liquid the less smoke it produces - consult your local hardware.

5. Watch that the combustible liquid does not get onto the skirt. It's very dangerous.

6. It is convenient to soak the cord in a wide bucket. First pour combustible liquid in the bucket and slowly soak the rim step by step.

7. The fire can be ignited at the start of your performance by using a palm candle, torch or
similar.

8. YOU MUST START WHIRLING IMMEDIATELY AFTER IGNITION!

9. YOU SHOULD NOT STOP WHILE SKIRT BURNS!
Otherwise your skirt may start burning that may cause skin burns.
10. The fire skirt burns around 3-4 minutes. You should keep whirling 1 minute more after the fire is completely off. This is because the fire cord can be very hot during some time after the fire is off.

11. There should be no obstacles nor flammable objects around the whirling area. Please have someone nearby with fire-extinguisher and first aid just in case.

12. Safety guidelines must be observed at all times!

Please be careful.
Take care of the fire extinguisher.
Do not do this alone.
Please carefully choose a place for the whirling.
Be healthy.

HAPPY, SAFE AND MAGIC PERFORMING TO YOU!!!
