CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:

I was thrilled to write to this song.  It is sung by our very own Craig Giles but what makes

it even better is the fact that it was also written by Craig  and his lovely wife Roz.... which

means that "Raging Fire" the dance, is truly an all Australian effort!   Don't you just love

it?  I do! Ham it up in the bend fwd and ¼ turn straighten up sequence (9-16) because it is

meant to be a bit of fun!

Hope you enjoy both the song and the dance.

See you on the floor sometime...  Jan
