International Student Organization and Fine Arts Society of India presents..
Garba Night
dance the night away..
Garba is an Indian form of dance that originated in the Gujarat region. Unlike
other famous types of Indian dance, Garba is much more similar to Western
social dancing than the presentational style of the others. Traditionally, Garba
is performed during a nine-day festival called Navarātrī (Nava = 9, rātrī =
nights).
Modern Garba is heavily influenced by the Dandiya Raas, a dance traditionally
performed by men. The merger of these two dances has formed the high-
energy dance that is seen today, where people dance in concentric circles
with "dandiya" sticks.
