The art of fire dancing has been passed down through generations, originating in ancient Polynesian cultures. It is particularly rooted in the Samoan tradition known as "ailao," where warriors would perform intricate movements with war clubs to display their prowess. The modern fire knife dance was popularized by Uluao "Freddie" Letuli in the mid-20th century when he added fire to the traditional Samoan knife dance​​. Today, fire dancing is a global phenomenon seen at festivals and events worldwide, combining elements of dance, acrobatics, and theatrical performance.
