@Bhavai Pot Dance-Louise and Stuart's Amazing India

Bhavai is a type of folk dance popular in Rajasthan India. The dancers balance a number of earthen pots on their heads (8 in this video). Then they dance nimbly, pirouetting and then swaying with the soles of their feet perched on the top of a glass, breaking glasses and then dancing on the glass shards and on the edge of the sword during the performance. The accompaniment to the dance is provided by the male performers singing melodious songs and playing a number of musical instruments, which include pakhwaja, dholak, jhanjhar, sarangi, and harmonium. Traditionally, this genre of dance was performed by the female performers belonging to the Jat, Bhil, Raigar, Meena, Kumhar, and Kalbelia communities of Rajasthan. It is assumed that this dance evolved from the exceptional balancing skills of the females of these communities developed to carry a number of pots of water on head over a long distance in the desert.
