The Interview

1. How and when did your troupe form?
Phoenix was created in November 2015. We were a bunch of dancers who wanted to stay together
after another dance team fell apart. Right now, the only original ones left from that team is Sebastain Bourne and myself. Over the years, we have had so many wonderful people from all over the world join Phoenix and stay with us. Some have moved on with their life and will always wish them the best of luck. 

Our Motto has always been: " We're a tightly knit team of dancers and creators born from the ashes of the fiery passion we all share for dancing. We are dedicated to friendship and respect within every aspect of our lives " 

It's still true till this day, 9 years later and the friendships, the bond that we have, will and can never
be broken. Sure, just like any family, we might have disagreements, but at the end of the day,
we are still one team. 


2. Where do you usually perform, what is your usual venue? 
Phoenix Dance Team Theater

4.  What can an audience member expect to see at one of your shows?
