<p>To begin, at the beginning of the entertainment district arc Tanjiro goes the house of Shinjuro Rengoku, who is the father of Kyojiro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, to show his condolenses.(Please excuse some of the spelling, I'm writing in English) When he arrives outside the house he sees Senjuro outside the property sweeping. They talk for a bit and then his father comes out. After a bit of exchanging of words, things heat up when Shinjuro Rengoku realizes who Tanjiro is.

<p>Basically what Shinjuro Rengoku gets mad at is the loss of his son, but he gets mad at Tanjiro because he believes that Kyojuro died because he wasn't only good enough, but he also implies that the breathing technique wasn't good enough.

<p>&quot;I think they are the same. It will be revealed/explained better in the upcoming episodes of season 3 which is currently airing&quot; (Fumikage Tokoyami)</p>

<p>To bring it all together and answer your question, no they are not the same, but they are very similar. The flame-breathing form is the closest breathing form to the Sun-breathing form other than Moon-breath which you find out about in the Infinite Palace arc.</p>

<p>The Kimetsu no Yaiba wikia refers to the Dance of the Fire god breathing and to the sun breathing as if they were the same breathing several times, and if they were different breath styles several times. For example, in these quotes it refers to it as if they were different,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>he realized his own Hinokami Kagura (dance of the fire god) had unncessary movements,
different wrist angles, footwork and breathing rhythm. Removing them
enabled him to awaken the legendary Sun Breathing</p>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<p>Both the Hinokami Kagura (dance of the fire god) and Sun Breathing are Breathing Styles that
mimics the sun and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques
and abilities</p>
</blockquote>

<p><strong>However here, it refers to  them as if they were the same,</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Hinokami Kagura (dance of the fire god) is later revealed by Shinjuro Rengoku to be a
legendary Breathing Style known as Sun Breathing</p>
</blockquote>

</blockquote>
<p>So, are they different or are they the same?</p>
<p>Is there any difference between the Dance of the Fire god breathing and the sun breathing?</p>

So, are they different or are they the same?

Is there any difference between the Dance of the Fire god breathing and the sun breathing?

What the most important thing to point out though is when Shinjuro Rengoku notices Tanjiro's Hanafuda earings. What these heirlooms represent is that they are descendants of the Sun-breathing Hashira. Shinjuro Rengoku goes on to tell Tanjiro (Angrily) that the Sun-breathing is the original breathing style and that all other breathing styles are shabby attempts to copy it or change it.

Basically what Shinjuro Rengoku gets mad at is the loss of his son, but he gets mad at Tanjiro because he believes that Kyojuro died because he wasn't only good enough, but he also implies that the breathing technique wasn't good enough.
