Circle Dance is noted for its spiritual or meditational aspects, but it can also help the body greatly. You can use it to detect where muscular tensions lie, and to improve balance and co-ordination. This can have health benefits in daily life, and in turn help you to dance better. We will do a variety of dances, and talk a little about how we use our bodies in some of them. We may look at; relaxing the muscles to avoid aches - the upright posture - how your balance feels when dancing with eyes closed - dancing with the whole body, not just the feet (dance style!) - using less energy in faster dances. And more. Cost £7 - £20 (self-select).
