Looks like this is all the rage in India! posted by flapjax at midnite at 6:31 AM on October 21, 2007
flapjax: It has been for centuries. The Gujarati community has two primary dances, both group dances - Garba & Dandiya. Dandiya involves two small wooden sticks, also called Dandiya. Garba dancing moves are quite similar to Dandiya but instead of wooden sticks, you clap your hands.
Originally I sucked at both but after moving to US from India and seeing how bad the Indian-Americans were at these, I figured I can't be THAT bad and started dancing again. Most Indian marriages have Garba/Dandiya nights a few days before the main wedding day. It's been a few years since I went to any marriages so my skills are a bit rusty.
Stage performances of course are a whole different thing. Never done that myself. But the top-level Dandiya competitions in India are definitely on the same skill-level as the break-dancing stuff you see on random YouTube clips. posted by chime at 11:37 AM on October 21, 2007
