About Circle Dancing

Circle Dancing - What is it?

It is a community form of dance
Circle Dancing creates a sense of well being and coming together, inviting a sense of wholeness into our lives through dance. Circle dancing is for any one of any age or ability. Dancing in a circle is one of the most well known ways in which people celebrate being together as part of a group.

It is social dancing, not a performance art
Circle Dancing encourages the dance beginner within the support of the circle. It does not require a partner. It is non-competitive and aims to encourage the individual to have a go and feel the benefit of participation.

It is a celebration of World Music & Dances
Circle dancing is a very useful starting point for community groups wanting to know more about different cultures. Circle dances are both traditional and modern, danced to all kinds of music from around the world. They have a wide variety of form and mood, from the slow and meditative to the frankly energetic and celebratory.
