I've met a few Sacred Circle dancers, have seen their web sites and read a few 
articles about them.  I don't quite understand why they like to make up stories 
about the dances.

    I frequently encounter people who are very surprised to find out that 
    Israeli dances do not come from the bible.  A few times people have said 
I'm 
    ruining it for them when I reveal that these dances were  created by modern 
    choreographers over the past 50-60 years or so. 



  Have you ever spoken to the folks who do sacred circle dance?  They have a 
  story or history for every folk dance even if the dance was created very 
  recently and the choreographer has even been very public about what inspired 
  him/her to create the particular dance.
