The dance can also be enjoyed as an uplifting group experience or as part of a meditation. Circle dances are choreographed to many different styles of music and rhythms.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike line dancing, circle dancers are in physical contact with each other; the connection is made by hand-to-hand, finger-to-finger or hands-on-shoulders. It is a type of dance where anyone can join in without the need of partners. Generally, the participants follow a leader around the dance floor while holding the hand of the dancers beside them. The dance can be gentle or energetic.<\/p>\n<p>Modern circle dance mixes traditional folk dances, mainly from European or Near Eastern sources, with recently choreographed ones to a variety of music both ancient and modern. There is also a growing repertoire of new circle dances to classical music and contemporary songs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Culture<\/strong><br \/>\nModern circle dancing is found in many cultures, including Arabic (Lebanese and Iraqi), Israeli (see Jewish dance and Israeli folk dancing), Assyrian, Kurdish, Turkish, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Maltese, and South Eastern European (i.e. Albanian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Greek and Serbian, to name a few).<br \/>\nDespite its immense reputation in the Middle East and southeast Europe, circle dancing also has a historical prominence in Brittany, Catalonia and Ireland to the west of Europe, and also in South America (Peruvian), Tibet, and with Native Americans (see ghost dance). It is also used, in its more meditative form, in worship within various religious traditions including, the Church of England and the Islamic Ha\u1e0dra dances.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3148 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.40.37-AM-300x211.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"407\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.40.37-AM-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.40.37-AM-768x540.png 768w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.40.37-AM-1024x720.png 1024w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.40.37-AM-266x187.png 266w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.40.37-AM-1170x823.png 1170w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.40.37-AM-600x422.png 600w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.40.37-AM.png 1530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/>Western Europe: An-Dro<\/strong><br \/>\nAn Dro, meaning \u201cthe turn\u201d, is a Breton circle dance. The dancers link the little fingers in a long line, swinging their arms, whilst moving to their left. The arm movements consist first of two circular motions going up and back followed by one in the opposite direction. The leader (person at the left-hand end of the line) will lead the line into a spiral or double it back on itself to form patterns on the dance floor, and allow the dancers to see each other.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3149 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.39.19-AM-300x224.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"366\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.39.19-AM-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.39.19-AM-768x573.png 768w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.39.19-AM-1024x764.png 1024w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.39.19-AM-251x187.png 251w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.39.19-AM-1170x873.png 1170w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.39.19-AM-600x448.png 600w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.39.19-AM.png 1472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/>Thousands of medieval tombstones called &#8220;Stecci&#8221; were found in Bosnia and Hercegovina and neighboring areas.

The dance originated from the medieval times, which survived only in the Faroe Islands, while in other European countries it was banned by the church, due to its pagan origin. The dance is danced traditionally in a circle, but when a lot of people take part in the dance they usually let it swing around in various wobbles within the circle. The dance in itself only consists in holding each other\u2019s hands, while the dancers form a circle, dancing two steps to the left and one to the right wirhout crossing the legs. When more and more dancers join the dance ring, the circle starts to bend and forms a new one within itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sacred Circle Dance<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Sacred Circle Dance was brought to the Findhorn Foundation community in Scotland by Bernhard Wosien who brought traditional circle dances that he had gathered from across Eastern Europe.<br \/>\nColin Harrison and David Roberts took the dances to other parts of the UK where they started regular groups in south east England and Somerset, then across Europe, the US and elsewhere. The network extends also to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South America and India.<br \/>\nA small centrepiece of flowers or other objects is often placed at the centre of the circle to help focus the dancers and maintain the circular shape. Much debate goes on within the sacred circle dance network about what is meant by \u2018sacred\u2019 in the dance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dabke<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3143 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.10.01-AM-300x222.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"304\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.10.01-AM-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.10.01-AM-768x567.png 768w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.10.01-AM-1024x756.png 1024w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.10.01-AM-253x187.png 253w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.10.01-AM-1170x864.png 1170w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.10.01-AM-600x443.png 600w, https:\/\/danceparade.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-10-at-12.10.01-AM.png 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 304px) 100vw, 304px\" \/><\/strong>Dabke is popular in Lebanon, Syria, Palestin, Israel, Jordan and Turkey.

The dancers develop a synchronized movement and step, and when the singers finish their song the lawweeh breaks from the semicircle to dance on their own.
