Dressed in vivid costumes, they captivated the audience with rhythmic footwork, precise coordination, and expressive storytelling that forged a deep connection with the spectators. The potpourri featured tribal dance forms from across India alongside international styles.
Tagore House bagged the first position with their captivating Dangi dance of Gujarat and the graceful movements of Thuringia in Germany. The second position was secured by Azad House who showcased Odisha’s traditional Ghumra and the elegant flair of 19th-century Parisian Can-Can gracefully. The rhythm, choreography and fluid dance moves complemented the performances.
