Circle Dancing is the oldest form of community dance which is still to be seen in parts of the Balkans, Greece, Israel and Spain.  Coming from a mixture of traditional folk dances and contemporary dances, it is joyful, uplifting and meaningful.

Barbara is an experienced international teacher and she will be leading us through some simple dances  which we will dance together in a circle - no partner is necessary.  So please join us as we dance to a
variety of music and rhythms from around the world - celebrating May time, community and oneness.
