circular dance
Partners revolving together
A circular dance is any dance performed in a circle, typically with participants holding hands and moving together around a central point.
Traditional folk dances from many cultures take this form: the hora, ring dances at weddings, children's games like ring-around-the-rosie.
The circle creates equality among dancers—no one leads from the front.
