The Dhol Players of Chorwad turned this into an organised form of folk dance. There are three players in which the middle player dances with the drum and the other two supply the rythmic beats in all variations. The rhythm changes from a slow tempo to a faster me and what three of them dance together the drums produce a thanderous rhythm. The stick is tied with which they nimbly tone the movement of the feet with which they keep time. The audience is held spellbound by sheer tempo, rythmic roar of the drums and fast footwork.', u'permissions': {u'read': [], u'admin': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}, u'text': u'', u'tags': [u'Gujarat', u'Dholi-nritya', u'dhol']} created: Thu, 19 Mar 2015, 10:54 AM UTC
