Circle dances have been a part of human culture for thousands of years. Performed as rites of passage, an invocation of change, or as a mode of community ritual, the circle embodies aspects of connection, unity, and cycles of transformation. I began using dance as a grounding method during the early stages of the pandemic while social distancing and isolating in my home for weeks, often completely alone. Dance has continued to be a way to feel connected to rituals of my past, providing comfort during times of extreme anxiety.

Variations are 2020-2022.
