Folk Dance: Grida Dance

Grida Dance, when crops sway in the fields in the full bloom, the parties from different villages join together and perform the dance. It continues from morning till evening. The host village returns the visit next year by going to the village of their guests of the preceding year. The dance has three distinct phases: 1 Sela - feet movements are slow and comparatively rigid. 2 Selalarki - The feet movements become brisker and faster. 3 Selabhadoni - With the acceleration of the tempo, every limb of the body begins to sway in mood of exaltation.
