CIRCLE DANCING
We do traditional dances from around the world (Greece, Israel, Scotland, Russia, France, North and South America, etc.) along with newly choreographed dances to a variety of world music. Dances range from slow and meditative to quite lively. No partner, dance experience, or special skills of any kind are needed. Each dance is taught just before it is done. Beginners are always welcome. Circle Dance is a means for relaxation, joy, growth, awareness and healing. Also known as Sacred Dance or World Dance, it was birthed at Findhorn, a spiritual community in Scotland. We have danced in Berkeley or El Cerrito every week or two since 1985, and regularly in other northern California towns including Santa Cruz, Pacifica, Palo Alto, San Leandro, Petaluma, Grass Valley, and Mendocino.
