The performance of Giddha is characterized by a unique blend of grace, vigor, and vivacity. The dancers form a circle, called a “boliyan,” and take turns to step forward, creating a captivating rhythm with their feet. The dancers synchronize their movements with the beats of the dhol, a traditional Punjabi drum, which sets the pace and adds a pulsating energy to the performance.
Accompanied by rhythmic clapping, singing, and melodious folk songs, the dancers of Giddha use a variety of graceful gestures and expressions to convey stories and emotions. The lyrics of these folk songs, known as “boliyan,” often revolve around themes of love, relationships, and social issues, giving voice to the aspirations, joys, and struggles of Punjabi women. One of the most captivating aspects of Giddha is the spontaneous and interactive nature of the dance. While performing, the dancers engage in playful banter, witty exchanges, and quick improvisations, showcasing their wit and creativity. This interaction between the dancers, known as “jhummar,” adds an element of lightheartedness and camaraderie to the performance, fostering a sense of unity and celebration within the community.
