Keekali and Bhangra

I had seen this dance and found it really daring and enjoyed a lot..

This dance is a dance of young girls and is danced playfully in twos. The girls hold hands crosswise and rotate fast on their toes, singing songs.

The Bhangra is a male dance which originated in Punjab and is popular in the Kangra, Himirpur and Una areas in a fairly wild form.
Rituals such as Chandroli, Jhumakada and Googa swang also give one a glimpse into the local dance forms.


Have you seen this dance?

Once I had seen a sword Dance in Kulu. It was always making the heart beat at edge. But the dance was spectacular.

In the sword dances men dancers are dressed in the traditional tight white trousers and tunics with bright bordered shawls and black plumed caps decorated with blue primulas and yellow jasmine. The women dancers wrapped in woolen shawls wearing their colourful headgear (Dhatu) enter the arena.

Forming a circle and holding a handkerchief in the right hand men and women wave it as they move round and round

Then suddenly two or three dancers come into the centre of the circle and commence dancing with brandishing swords.

Have u seen this dance?

I have seen this dance... it is a lively form of folk music.

While in this dance people sing Punjabi Boliyaan lyrics, at least one person plays the the dhol drum, and other people may play the flute, dholak drum, or other musical instruments.

It is a splendid dance.. I hope that everyone gets the chance to see them..
