HAZEL YOUNG
Hazel lives in a small village in the Cotswolds in the UK. She first discovered Sacred Circle Dance in the late 1980s and has been teaching the dance since 1992. Locally she has led groups every week for 25 years, and also leads longer special events wherever she’s invited. She has created many new popular dances which have been taken all over the world (including Song of Summer, Pebbles of Silver and many more). For the past 20 years or so she has visited Greece to learn dances with Greek teachers, and for many years has attempted to replicate the joy of Greek dance parties in the UK. She also teaches many other Balkan, Israeli and Russian dances, plus of course her own and other favourite choreographies. For the last year since all her dances came to a stop, she’s enjoyed offering Youtube dance films created in her kitchen for anyone who’s interested.

BARBARA HERRING
Barbara is from Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. She has been a facilitator and choreographer of Sacred Circle Dance in Canada and the USA for over 20 years and during that time has been midwife to the birth of many Sacred Circle Dance groups in her home province, Ontario. She has developed a unique model of community co-leadership, where all dancers are welcome to share in teaching and leading the dance. She regularly joins with other facilitators to host multi-day events of magical play where participants find relaxation, renewal and new connections within themselves, with others and with the earth we share. Those who have danced with Barbara know the sense of calm, joy and reverence that Barbara brings to the dance – and to the world around her.
