| Dandiya and Garbha dances by youth from School of India for Languages and Culture | Teenagers from School of India for Languages and Culture are performing a medley of Dandiya and Garbha dances to the song “Dholi Taro Dhol”. These dances come from the western Indian state of Gujarat and are being performed to a rhythmic piece set to pulsating beats. |
| Bhangra by School of India for Languages and Culture | Bhangra is a very popular and high-energy dance that is performed to the addictive and heart pounding beats of the dhol (large Indian drum). It comes from the north Indian state of Punjab . The performance here is based on the song AKH LADIYE set to relatively modern beats and steps. This song is set to a Bollywood tune and style. In their exhilaration, the dancers have lost all sleep and simply want to dance the night away. |
