Learn the basics of Ghoomar dance along with a combintion of Rajasthani folk and kalbelya steps... Watch here my ghoomar dance: https://youtube.com/watch?v=tiI06T3SpZw GHOOMAR (घूमर) is a Rajasthani cultural dance with specific signature steps that are typical of this dance form, usually performed in a circle by a group of veiled women in ghaghara (घाघरा) moving in and out of a circle, or making circles with their strides. Here, although solo, I've tried to imbibe the authentic, basic ghoomar steps combined with some Rajasthani folk and kalbeliya steps of this region. Ghoomar derives from the words 'ghoomna' (घूमना, verb) or 'ghumav' (घुमाव, noun), which means to turn or twirl. Hence I've included lots of spins in this dance, which can also be seen in kalbeliya gypsy dances of the Rajasthan state, India. Hope you enjoy it! 😊 TUTORIAL by Baisakhi Saha GHOOMAR based on Padmavati MUSIC "Dreams Become Real" by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500027 Artist: http://incompetech.com WIKIPEDIA: Ghoomar is a traditional folk dance of Rajasthan, India. The dance is chiefly performed by veiled women who wear flowing dresses called ghaghara. It was ranked 4th in the list of "Top 10 local dances around the world" in 2013. The dance typically involves performers pirouetting while moving in and out of a wide circle. The word 'ghoomna' describes the twirling movement of the dancers and is the basis of the word 'ghoomar'. According to the tradtional rituals, a newly married bride is expected to dance ghoomar on being welcomed to her new marital home. Ghoomar is often performed on special occasions, such as at weddings, festivals and religious occasions which sometimes lasts for hours. As a traditional dance, Ghoomar often includes traditional songs such as "Gorband", "Podina", "Rumal" and "Mor Bole Re". Songs might be centered on royal legends or their traditions.
