The dance is a very lively, active and fast paced art form, thus leaving no scope for laziness. There is an instrumentalist, playing a 'meddale' drum, who accompanies the dancers. The person stands in the center of the two circles and leads the dancers with his beats. The dancers spin and move their feet and arms in a choreographed manner to the tune of the music, with lots of drum beats. Dandiya Raas in Navratri is a mesmerizing thing to watch as well as to participate in.", u'permissions': {u'read': [], u'admin': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}, u'text': u'Description of Dandia-ras', u'tags': [u'Gujarat', u'Dandia-ras', u'stick-dance']} created: Tue, 03 Mar 2015, 04:27 AM UTC
