No, of course I'm not suggesting that people who practise are weirdos, or that dancers shouldn't generally practise to get the dances right before they perform in public. I was with Flowers of May as dancer, squire and foreman, and (until numbers got really tight) if you didn't make the practice before the booking you didn't dance at the booking.

Well-practised, energetic morris, is a joy to watch (and do). But if it always looks difficult when performed in public people may be discouraged from starting. Sue works hard to make dancing more accessible to people who might not otherwise think of going to a workshop.
