| The dances come from all over the world. Some of them are ancient and traditional, some of them are very modern. Some dances tell a story, or celebrate some special time of year, others may be symbolic and have a message of peace or give us hope and strength when facing difficult times. Some of the dances have no great meaning, it may just feel beautiful dancing to them and leave you peaceful and relaxed or the dance may just be lots of fun and leave you laughing and uplifted |
| Some of the dances are simple and repetitive. Others are made up of many complicated parts and take a while to master. Some of them are slow and meditative, they are an excellent form of relaxation. Others are quick and lively with nimble footwork and feel more like an aerobic exercise session. There is certainly no time to think about your troubles while you concentrate on the steps. Often circle dancers will pause in silence at the end of a dance to listen and saviour the music because the experience has been so moving. At other times they collapse in a heap of laughter and exhaustion because it has been so much fun. |
