A wonderful venue for World Circle Dance Day

The circle dancers from across the Central Belt of Scotland joined their friends and

fellow dancers to celebrate World Circle Dance Day 2024

In the beautiful building that houses the Burrell Collection in Pollockshaws Glasgow

The dancers convened in the indoor courtyard joined by dancers from

across Glasgow and the central belt

Local dance teacher Jo Freeman had organised this event on

Sunday 7th July to connect with over 300 worldwide groups all

dancing the same dance on the same day.

There were two dance sessions in the Burrell and it was a delight that

members of the public young and old joined the ever-growing circle.

The chosen dance from the World Circle Dance Day organizing

committee based in the USA was 'Halleluya for the whole world' with

music from Finland this was supplemented by dances from Bosnia

Latvia Portugal Brazil and of course Scotland.

World Circle Dance Day was inaugurated in 2016 and the Carluke dancers have been involved since the very first day and are now joined by dancers from Anniesland Edinfurgh Forth Milngavie & Paisley
