There is normally one person in the middle with a Garbo on their head and everyone dances around them Ghada/Matki Dance: This dance is done with a pot in your hand or on your head. Normally this dance has songs about collecting water. Tippani Dance: In the old days Tippani sticks were hit on the floor to create roads. Over time the work became a dance form and now it is performed by hitting sticks on the floor.
