    The circle dance is derived from old pagan rituals. It is not only performed by Balkan Slavs.

    Hers one from Macedonia:

    Many Europeans have a circle dance. I know for certain Poles have one, but they run around in a circle.

    I'm pretty sure Scandinavians do this too. They call it 'ringdance' and they dance around trees singing folk songs, usually at the start of summer or at christmas.
