Fire Dancers on Playa Principal

I was hoping to bump into these dancers again this season. Last year I never seemed to have my gear with me when they were performing. Last year though it was just mom dancing. This year her tiny daugher was also a whirling dervish of flaming hula hoops.

They are very entertaining but watching a tiny girl playing with fire is a bit frightening. Many of us come from places where you're not even allowed to let your kids walk home from school alone. Here, you can hand them a flaming hula hoop and let them dance. They grow up so soon here.
