GHAR/BA- A House/Electronic Music + Garba Folk Dance Workshop by Āvartan

Get ready for a high-energy dance workshop where traditional Garba folk dance finds a home within the pulsating beats of House ('Ghar') and other Electronic music. The music and mood have been carefully curated to respect Garba principles of communal dance while adapting the form to our modern, multi-cultural moment. A home for devout dancers, movers and Garba players.
