It's time to perfect that twirl as folk artist Karan Jodhani will be conducting a workshop in the city on Ghoomar, a traditional Rajasthani folk dance that is performed by women for female functions like mehendi and the celebration of the birth of a child. You'd have probably seen veiled women in a few Bollywood movies and albums pirouetting while moving in and out of a wide circle. "Derived from the Hindi word ghoomna or the circular twirl of the ghaghra, the steps are in circular fashion and the twirls," explains Jodhani, who is a performer and founder of Folk Innovations, a community that promotes folk dances of India.
