Catherine has been teaching Circle Dance since 1990 and has organised many Circle Dance events. She has also learnt dance styles from Egypt and North Africa which influence her choice of dances and awareness of movement as does her training as a McTimoney chiropractor in the UK.

Circle Dance can take a wide variety of forms, style and mood reflecting the creativity and dynamics of the group as well as the special interests and experience of the teacher. The circle is an ancient and universal symbol of wholeness and unity. Dancing in a circle is one of the most ancient of ways in which people celebrate community and togetherness.

The dance repertoire draws on the rich and diverse folk traditions from around the world as well as modern choreographies to all kinds of music. It is wonderful to learn about and keep cultural traditions alive by dancing as well as creating new ones.

Anyone of any age can dance, you don't need to bring a partner or have any experience of dance. It is reassuring to move together, beyond words, following some gentle and some exhilarating rhythms which stretch consciousness to a more global sense of humanity. It's good exercise and fun too.   Below are some photos of Circle Dance:
