Fire dancing festival of Dao ethnic group

(VOV) -In the first few days of spring, Dao ethnic minority people in Nam Det commune, Lao Cai province, hold a fire dancing festival to pray for health and prosperity in the New Year.

This is a unique spiritual culture of the Dao people which has been preserved until now.

The festival begins with the sorcerer’s ritual 



Listening to the sorcerer, these young men are poised to jump over the coal fire

The fire breaks out but it does not affect the dancers



They passionately performed an exciting dance over the flame



They dance on their bare feet


The ceremony ends when the fire is over


Amazingly dancers’ feet are not burned after the show
