World dance group starts at Langside Halls

January 18th, 2006 at 6:14 pm (General) ~ Bungo Blog

Come on-have a go!

Dances and Music from Around the World present SPRING INTO CIRCLE DANCE at the Langside Halls, Shawlands Cross, starting Friday, 20 January. This is a six week programme on consecutive Friday evenings, 7.30-9.30pm. If you miss the first, you may still be able to join in - ring Jenny on 01360 770 497 or Ann on 422 1743.

The organisers say they will be bringing dances both traditional and modern, danced to many different kinds of music from around the world. No previous experience is needed and you can be any age or level of ability, provided you are willing to have a go and enjoy yourself.

World Dance is a form of social dance that often takes the form of a circle, which is very supportive for the beginner. It is non-competitive, does not require a partner and is also a very gentle form of exercise.

The circle is a symbol of wholeness and dancing this form creates a sense of well-being and togetherness. The dances also have a wide variety of mood, from the energetic and celebratory to slower, more contemplative ‘’moving meditations'’.
