Each one is unique in it s own form and sustenance, I have tried to include as many forms as possible, placing emphasis on the lesser known forms of the art The half-naked adivasis or the aborigines are the most uninhibited in their dancing while their counterparts in the North like the inhabitants of some parts of South are more restrained in their art. It is perhaps impossible to find any other culture that retains such a wide variety of forms amidst such a huge diversity in the forms themselves. There is hardly a fair or festival where these dances aren't performed. There is also another special type of dance that appears in all the above categories namely the masked dances. The Kolyacha is among the better known examples of social dances.
Women wave handkerchiefs to their male partners, who move with sliding steps.
For wedding parties young Kolis dance in the streets carrying household utensils for the newlywed couple, who join the dance at its climax. The national social folk dance of Rajasthan is the Ghoomar, danced by women in long full skirts and colorful chuneries . Especially spectacular are the Kacchi Ghori dancers of this region. Bawaris, by tradition a criminal tribe, generally are expert in this form of folk dance. In the Punjab, the most electrifying social folk dance and debatably the most popular with today's generation is the male harvest dance, Bhangra, which is also popular in the Punjab province of Pakistan.
