Dance away on Midsummer's Day!
The middle of summer comes after the longest day and it is a time associated with witches, magic, faries and dancing.
On the eve of Midsummer's Day, many bonfires used to be burnt all over the country. This was in praise of the sun, for the days were getting shorter and the sun appeared to be getting weaker, so people would light fires to try and strengthen the sun.
Practice of this ancient ritual, which also includes a Summer Solstice Circle Dance, is now mainly confined to Cornwall, the West Country, and London's Hampstead Heath.
So wherever you dance - enjoy your Midsummer's Day!
