Vayishlach - God Leads the Circle Dance of Life

Why were there 600,000 angels doing a great circle dance for Yaakov as he returned from Lavan's house to Israel? Why did he take angels from this group and send them to Esav? Why are they described as an encampment - which seems to denote lack of movement - but also as a dancing circle, full of movement? How does this parallel the other places we find circles and encampments, specifically at the splitting of the sea, and afterwards, as well as the journeys of the Jewish people through the wilderness? How does this parallel the dance of the righteous that Hashem Himself leads in the future time of the World to Come?
