On November 15 in Nanchang, Jiangxi, a female performer’s skirt accidentally caught fire during a traditional "Fire Skirt Dance." She quickly removed the burning skirt and safely escaped the stage.

According to staff at the scene, the dancer’s skirt was ignited, likely due to strong winds causing the flames to become uncontrollable.

At first, the audience believed it was part of the performance, only later realizing the severity of the situation. Many praised the performer’s calm and quick response.

The Fire Skirt Dance is a highlight of traditional Chinese folk dance, particularly popular in Jiangxi. The performance incorporates sparks and flames, with the dancer’s skirt flickering in the firelight. The powerful yet graceful movements create a dazzling effect, as if the dancer is in dialogue with the sparks.
