Sacred Circle Dance

Sacred Circle Dance

Sacred Circle Dance is held in St. John’s Parish Hall in the cooler months and at Samuel P. Taylor Park in the warmer months.

No partners or experience needed.  The circle is your partner and all dances are simple and taught first.

As we dance we often hold hands (except when health restrictions, such as Covid, require distance - then we dance hand-hold free), giving a sense of support and feeling of friendship and community, also allowing the energy to flow around the circle. The dances are simple, both meditative and joyful, to music from many cultures. They are always taught first and no experience is necessary.

Dancing of this kind has been done for as long as people have walked the earth. From time immemorial, we have danced to honor and celebrate, mark passages, seasons, and change – all things that connect us to the rhythms of the earth, to each other, and our spiritual source.  As the name suggests, the dance form is a circle – the oldest form of dance on the earth. The circle allows everyone, of whatever age or background, to feel safe, to relax, discover the joy of dancing and recognize ourselves as part of a whole. We enjoy the spirit of the dances and the sense of oneness and peace that moving rhythmically in a supportive circle can bring.

When we join hands and dance our mental, physical, and spiritual selves unite...
the rocks, crystals, earth and all the Cosmos feel this, we become one.

A suggested donation is gratefully accepted at the door, but no one is ever turned away due to lack of funds.
