Re: Famous Folk Dances of India
Folk dances in India are performed for every possible occasion to celebrate the arrival of seasons, birth of a child, a wedding and festivals. They are full of energy and vitality. Some dances are performed separately by men and women while in some performances men and women dance together. On most occasions, the dancers sing themselves, accompanied by artists with instruments. Each form of folk dance has a specific costume and rhythm. Most of the costumes, worn for folk dances, are colorful with extensive jewels and designs.
