Named for the power chakra, the "double burner" in the chakra system - the place from which all of our fire energy comes - Tantien is a quadruple-burner of flaming dance and athletic derring-do. Four dancers twirl batons, toss sticks, and wrangle lariats of fire in a sensual display of elemental power. They have performed at local parties and events, mostly to small but intense and intimate gatherings; to see them in the cloak of night is unforgettable. Baruseula, Heather, Sage, and Tanya (who individually also "does" fire for local band Govinda) are as intense as the heat they throw. Any chance to catch this wonder should not be missed.
