Dhalo
One of Goa's most well-known rural folk dances is this one. The majority of the time, except on special occasions or during celebrations, the dhalo is the preferred dance of the women residing in the state's rural areas. A starry December night is the primary opportunity for women to execute this form of dance, aside from that. After supper, a group of around a dozen ladies congregate in the garden of a residence and perform traditional songs that incorporate both social and religious themes. Overall, this folk dance is a lot of frivolity and joy. A fantastic decision would be to attend a live show.
