The group had its first performances in 2001 and started a world tour a year later, already under the name "Fire of Anatolia". The number of dancers now reaches 120, which means that the group is able to perform the same show in two or three locations at the same time. According to Erdoğan, Fire of Anatolia is currently among the three largest dance groups in the world. The dance group has performed so far in more than 40 countries, including the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Russia, Qatar, China, Japan, Kazakhstan, France, Egypt (just in front of the Pyramids), The Netherlands and Mexico.
