One of the sensuous dance forms of Rajasthan, performed by the Kalbeliyas, the snake charmers community. The sapera dancers wear long, black skirt embroidered with sliver ribbons. As they spin in a circle, their body sways acrobatically, so that it is impossible to believe that they are made of anything other than rubber. As the beat increases in tempo, the pace increases in such a pitch that it leaves viewer as exhausted as the dancer. |
