One of the starting events of the day at Gargi College was the Folk Dance competition. Various DU teams took to the stage, which had been given a colourful makeover. The event opened with the Gargi Philosophy Department’s dance performance that was a combination of Mohini Aatam, Oddisi and many more dance forms.
Some of the crowds’ favourite performances in Folk Dance were Gidda by Mata Sundari College (the team came second in the competition), Laavni by the team from Jesus and Mary College, Bhangra by Kamla Nehru College, among a few others.
While the Laavni performance brought to stage a hint of the Konkan coast, IP College performed Kalbelia that was also enjoyed by the crowd. Venky on the other hand disappointed slightly with a rather lax approach to the dance form of Daandiya. The competition saw Bhangra performances by the dozen but all were performed very vivaciously by the teams, and the crowd was pleased by the live Dhol beats and singing alongside.
