circle dance
Dancers holding hands
A circle dance is a traditional folk dance performed by participants holding hands and moving in a circular formation.
The form appears across many cultures—Jewish hora, Greek syrtos, Balkan kolo—often at weddings and celebrations.
Everyone joined the circle dance at the reception.
The shared movement creates a sense of community and collective joy.
