The Dance
The celebration of Harvest and the Baisakhi Festival begans with the
dance steps known as Bhangra. This tradition has been followed since 1947 -
the year when India became Independent.
Its a fusion of dance, music and and the Dhol. The songs sung in it are in
the form of couplets called the Bolis. The steps taken in the dance
are in rythmn with these bolis. As per the history this dance begun either
in the Alexander Regime or in the 14th or 15th century when the farmers used
to dance and sing to pass their time at the time of harvest. Thus the story
of the Bhangra beguns.
Bhangra songs are mainly about the history of Punjab. As the time passed,
bhangra baecame a part of all the major festivals and dances of Punjab. From
here came the alterations in the songs and dance of Bhangra. And so Bhangra
became a part of Punjabi Culture. Jhumar, Luddi, Giddha, Julli, Daankara,
Dhamal, Saami, Kikli, and Gatka - all are various forms of Bhangra which
developed later on.
