round dance
Waltz or polka
A round dance is a folk or ballroom dance in which participants move in a circle or ring, often holding hands or linking arms.
The term also applies to couples dancing that follows a circular path around the floor, as in waltzing.
In beekeeping, round dance refers to the circular movement honeybees perform to communicate the location of nearby food sources to other bees in the hive.
