Carols for Dancing began as a WGBH Special exploring the rich traditions and unexpected stories of carols as festive dances. From ancient times the movement from darkness to light at the Winter Solstice has been an occasion of joy and hope - people told stories, feasted, sang and danced. The Christmas celebration absorbed much of the character of the Solstice holidays. Consequently, dance became part of the Christmas story—angels dance, shepherds run, leap and dance, the magi process… Joy to the World
