Circle Dance

A circle dance is a type of dancing where many people stand in a big circle and dance together. It is like playing ring-around-the-rosy but with music and more steps. Imagine holding hands with your friends and moving around in a circle while someone plays music for you to dance to.

In a circle dance, everyone does the same steps at the same time. Some circle dances are inspired by traditional dances from different countries, like the hora dance from Israel, the sirtaki from Greece or the tango from Argentina. Other circle dances are made up by people who just want to dance together and have fun.

In the circle dance, one person usually leads the dancing and everyone else follows. Sometimes the leader will call out the steps and everyone else will repeat them. Other times, the music will guide the dancing and everyone will follow along.

Circle dance is a great way to have fun, make friends, and feel connected to the people around you. It is a joyful and lively way to celebrate community and culture.
