 Ragged Phoenix dancers come from many different dance backgrounds and our dances tend to reflect this. We like to allow ourselves the freedom to innovate and borrow interesting figures and choruses, changing them to suit the side. . We also dance some collected dances, with these we try to stay as close to the original as possible. .   If you want to dance one of our dances then contact us and we'll help out. If you want to come and see us at practise or just want know more about the Morris again email us and we'll do our best to help
