The circle is probably the oldest known dance formation. It is found even today in the community dances of many cultures, including [[ancient Greece]] ([[chorea (dance)\|chorea]]), African, Eastern European, Irish Celtic, Catalan ([[sardana]]), South American and North American Indian. It is also used, in its more meditative form, in worship within various religious traditions, including, for example, the Church of England. 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 and they draw on a rich and diverse dance tradition. There is also a growing repertoire of new dances to classical music and contemporary songs. Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to [[:Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca]].

The style and mood reflects the group and the interests of the teacher. The aim always is to experience the joy of dancing with others and to create a sense of well-being and community. Circle dance groups grew up first in the UK and then across Europe, the US and elsewhere as a result of the work done by Bernhard Wosien. ~~==Your edit to [[:Humanism]]==~~ Your recent edit to [[:Humanism]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Humanism&diff=79077937&oldid=79077835 diff]) was reverted by an '''automated bot''' that attempts to recognize and repair [[Wikipedia:vandalism\|vandalism]] to Wikipedia articles.

Known first as Sacred Dance, it has changed over time as enthusiasts have made contributions, and may now be called Circle Dance, Sacred Dance, or Sacred Circle Dance (SCD). A small altar of flowers or other natural or venerated objects is usually placed at the centre of the circle. It has connections with [[New age]] and [[Neopagan]] belief. ==References== Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia{{#if:Lichen\|, as you did to [[:Lichen]]}}.
