The
dance of this semi-nomadic caste of entertainers and snake charmers
Elegant
whirling dance of the royal Rajput caste.
A
traditional dance in which the dancer balances a flaming brass
pot upon her head.
Within
each state of India there exists many separate subcultures of
the greater Hindu culture, many of which are divided by caste
or tribe, each having their own unique dance style. Rajasthan’s
culture springs from the drastic climate and its geographic
location. In a hot dry desert in the Northwest India, near the
states of Punjab and Gujarat and the border of Pakistan, one
might say, the colorful people make up for the sparseness of
the land.
“Colleena
captures an authenticity that is loved by audiences in both
India and abroad.’’
