Folk Dances of India

भारत के लोक नृत्य

Folk Dances of India introduces Class 10 General Knowledge learners to regional dance traditions that express India’s history, communities, and cultural diversity. As part of Art and Culture, the topic explores how dances such as Bhangra, Garba, Ghoomar, Bihu, Lavani, Chhau, and Rouf are shaped by local music, costumes, festivals, occupations, and rituals. Students compare their features, understand their social significance, and recognise why documenting and preserving folk performance traditions matters.
