Circle & Sacred Dance List and Search Facilities

There must inevitably be many errors and I hope that you will help me correct them by contacting me at raymond@SacredCircleDance.info

Please note that where I refer to particular albums for sources of music, you should check the accuracy of the information before committing yourself to a purchase.

Alphabetic Lists

Search Criteria

Note that the more boxes from which you select, the more restrictive will be the search.

Help needed!

• reassigning dances described as Yugoslavian to the appropriate country.
• improving and adding to the attempts to indicate the accepted pronounciation
• adding to the musical sources - CD and tape numbers particularly welcome
• correctly identifying the choreographers of modern dances - in some cases, I have only initials.

Technical Points

• All the pages below this one are generated by an automated process from my dance list which is kept in a spreadsheet.
• Dances that appear more than once have alternative sources of music.
• The matching of dance names with something that sounds a bit similar to the letters you type is done with a modified SOUNDEX coding. You may be puzzled sometimes why particular dances appear when you think they sound nothing like what you are looking for - but working across languages and even alphabets is not easy. As long as the list you get is not too long, you should be able to find what you want within it (assuming it's in the list at all, of course!)
• Currently, the searching not based on sound is also too permissive - I will try to fine tune it. For example, searching for dances by Friedel Kloke-Eibl produces dances which are not her choreographies but which are on her CDs.
• I am hoping eventually to provide computer generated representations of the steps and of the music that should be sufficient to help identify the dance.
