The khorovod brings people together, and virtually every people in the world has a dance like it,\u201d \u2018Russia\u2019 National Center Deputy Director General Anastasia Zvyagina told RT.
\nThe circle dance is especially symbolic in Russia, where so many different ethnic communities live together, she added. \u201cNo one comes first or last. It is this energy of unity that allows us to build on what we have today and, of course, look ahead to the future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
