Because the Round Dance is a circular chain dance, it is also referred to as a circle dance because the dancers are connected in a circular chain. Various connections are possible; among these are hand-to-hand, hands-on-shoulders, and paired couples.

Today, the Round Dance has evolved into a dance of friendship and is performed by all ages and is easily taught to tourists. Everyone is encouraged to dance by forming a circle and dancing in a clockwise circle. Dance outfits are not necessary.
