What's in a name?

The name Dancing Djinn – often misspelled as Dancing Djin, Dancing Jinn, or Dancing Gin – comes from legends of genies made out of pure, smokeless flame. These Djinn would often disguise themselves as humans and walk out into crowded streets, using their magic to astonish everyone around them. Although our performers are human, they still use their spectacular control of the primal element of fire to amaze crowds today.
