Garba is a Gujarati dance associated with Navratri, often danced in circles using rhythmic steps and claps. Dandiya Raas uses sticks and partner patterns. An event may include both, so check its programme and whether you need to bring sticks. Our beginner Garba guide explains steps to practise before your first night.
Play Garba’s overseas community is growing. Nearby matches depend on real members in your area, so you may see few or no profiles at first. The app is for adults 18+; an event’s own age policy can be different.
