Introduction

Folk Dance

Dance in My Region

• Every region has one or more folk dances that are connected to its culture and tradition.
• These dances are performed during festivals, harvest time, religious occasions, or celebrations.
• Each dance has special features like:
  • Name of the dance
  • Costume worn during performance
  • Props used in the dance
  • Occasion when it is performed
  • Musical instruments that give rhythm and tune

Dances of Neighbouring Regions

• Neighbouring regions also have folk dances that are similar or different from our own.
• By learning about these dances, we understand the diversity of Indian culture.
• Dances can be compared based on:
  • Name of the dance
  • Costumes worn
  • Main instruments used
  • Props used during the dance

This comparison helps us see how each region keeps its own identity but also shares similarities with others.

Presenting Dances

• Students can present their own regional dance or a dance from a neighbouring region.
• Performances show the variety of movements, costumes, and music in India.
• Working together in groups helps in teamwork and collaboration.
