How to: Fire Dance (Ailao Afi)

Ever wanted to Ailao afi like the pros? Well look no further!
The Ailao was originally used by warriors to show off their skill with the war-club, twirling, throwing and catching it in ceremonial displays. Check out this step-by-step guide by Pati Levasa, one of the best Ailao afi dancers in the Pacific! But be careful; kids ask your parents first! And parents - stay away from the fire!
