Celebrate the regal elegance of Rajasthan with "घूमर घूमर घूमे रे" – an immersive workshop on Ghoomar and Naach in their traditional Rajwadi (royal) style.
Led by National Award-winning choreographer Jyothi D Tommaar, this workshop carries forward the legacy of the late Padma Shri H.H. Rajmata Goverdhan Kumari of Santrampur and her Gangaur Ghoomar Dance Academy.
Participants will learn authentic choreography, graceful storytelling movements, and the cultural essence of royal Rajasthani dance. A rare experience enhanced by live folk musicians, the workshop offers a complete immersion into the rhythms, jewellery, and costumes that defined the royal courts of Rajasthan.
