	Circle of Dance - :: Dance Education Programs ::
		Circle of Dance Repertory Company's mission to bring dance programs to public schools as a tool for learning has been fulfilled through their arts-in-education programs.
		Arts in Education programs were developed to give students a new vision of dance; to expand their knowledge and appreciation of dance as an art form; to have students experience dance without risking ridicule; to give students an opportunity to develop personally by increasing their feelings of self confidence and self worth.
		As a result of the dance residency students experience the development of movement and dance skills and will be able to transfer cognitive knowledge, skill development and affective aesthetic knowledge to other areas of study.

		Dancing the old dances, or employing the traditional dance steps and patterns as an alphabet and a grammar to create new ones, there is no limit to the group rituals that can be created or the healing and celebrating uses to which it can be adapted.

	Sacred Circle Dancing: New Haven, CT
		Circle dance has grown out of the European traditional folk dance community, thanks to a German dancer, Bernard Wosien, who believed that many traditional dances were being lost to modern culture.
		These dances give form to our images of that time, which rest in our collective unconscious today, and the lyrics of the music enable us to experience the oral traditions and poetic verse through which much of our culture and history was communicated and preserved.
		Because these dances grew up in societies that were more agrarian than industrial, many tell stories of cycles of nature and our relationship to the earth; others tell stories of gender and age and relationships in a time when communities appreciated life's passages as another manifestation of the cycles within nature.

		The Medieval garland, as well as the dance circle itself, and the tambourine -- played by women, who "throw their instruments up high, and as they fall, catch each in their fair, soft finger tips, and never fail" -- are symbols of love, the fertility of spring and female sexuality.
