Grida Dance
When rabi crops sway in the fields in filled bloom, the parties from
different villages join together and perform the Grida dance. It
continues from morning till evening. The host village returns
the visit
next year by going to the village of their guests of the preceding year.
The dance has three distinct phases:
1.
Sela - The feet movements are slow and comparatively rigid.
2. Selalarki - The feet movements become brisker
and faster.
3. Selabhadoni - With the acceleration of the
tempo, every limb of the body begins to
sway in mood of exaltation.
