Ghoomar is a dance from Rajasthan. The word ghoomna means to whirl or turn.
The Bhil community first danced it. Later, the royal Rajput families of Rajasthan loved it too.
Women turn slowly and gracefully so that their long skirts, called ghagras, open out like big flowers.
They often wear veils and silver jewellery.
Ghoomar is danced at weddings and festivals, and to welcome new brides.
Try turning slowly with your arms out. How wide can you make your sleeves flare?
The big ideaWhen we move with care, every turn is beautiful.
Talk about it: Can you turn round three times slowly without getting dizzy?
