00:02Spitting fire into the air, swinging flames around in choreographed movements.
00:08This dangerous and captivating art is known as fire dancing,
00:12practiced by only a handful of skilled professionals in Taiwan.
00:19Among them is 32-year-old Yang Li Wei, who recently lit up the stage on Britain's Got Talent.
00:27This is awesome!
00:29Where she juggled a table in flames with her feet.
00:32Her performance earned high praise from both the audience and judges.
00:37I've always dreamed of playing the stage in the Korean打仁秀.
00:40Actually, at the打仁秀, my impression is that my foot and my table are now in the logo of the打仁秀.
00:46Because I'm seeing the logo at the stage.
00:49So I'm very happy to be able to stand on the stage.
00:54Yang has been performing with fire for a decade now.
00:57But behind the spectacle lies far more than meets the eye.
01:01Every tiny detail must be carefully checked to ensure the performer's safety.
01:07It all starts from the costumes, designed and made by Yang herself along with her troop.
01:12All the clothes will be burning through the testing.
01:15And to ensure that this dress is at least a certain extent is being used.
01:20All the clothes will be burned through the testing.
01:22After the testing, we'll get water off the stage.
01:24And the water flow can make the walls of the walls to fill the walls.
01:30And to ensure the clothes will be a safe and safe situation.
01:34Then, the performance itself, which also requires teamwork to make sure Yang and the audience
01:40are safe during the show.
01:42We have designers.
01:44We have designers.
01:45They will record my images and see what I will do and see what I will do and see what
01:54I will do and see what I will do and see what I will do and see what I will
01:56do.
01:57They will be able to research where the fire should be on the floor and how big the fire
02:15and lost the countless hours of practice.
02:19Despite all the preparations, there is still one major challenge that Yang cannot control.
02:25For Yang, although a single fire dance lost over the world,
02:27and that's what we can't expect.
02:31We can't expect that.
02:32That's what I think the firefighters must be able to learn carefully.
02:37When there are many external factors that affect you today,
02:42you need to make yourself safe and even make the audience safe.
02:45That's the most difficult response to the fire.
02:51For Yang, although a single fire dance
02:54lost only around five minutes.
02:56It requires attention to countless details.
03:00Before each performance,
03:01one surprising detail always needs her attention.
03:05I would first think,
03:06do I have my hair today?
03:08Yes.
03:10Because when my body went through the fire,
03:12the hair is really very easy to burn out.
03:14I would first look at my hair if I have a hair.
03:16Do I have to burn it?
03:17Yes, I would first think.
03:24After capturing global attention on Britain's Got Talent,
03:28Yang says she hopes to return to that stage
03:30and keep lighting up the world with her fiery passion from Taiwan.
