Instruments played during this dance are Dholki-Longish drum, Tadpady-Another Drum and Ghungroo-Bells.\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 Two male participants play the drum and tadpadya respectively. To begin with one of the dancers starts singing, accompanied by choras of ther dancers. It is only after this, the drums are beaten. There are nearly 8 to 10 varieties of beats (talas). Changing of rhythm or beats results into changing of steps. This dance is performed after sowing during the rainy season, until the harvest, i.e., during Diwali festival season. All the dancers love to wear ghungroos around their ankle. Thus, there is accurate co-ordination of the drum beats and the side rhythm of the tinkling bells.', u'permissions': {u'admin': [], u'read': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}, u'text': u'Tabala Dance - Maharashtra', u'tags': u'["Folk-dances-of-india","Maharashtra","Tabala-Dance","Dholki-Longish-drum","male-dance"]'} created: Mon, 04 May 2015, 01:47 PM UTC
