The socialising and mingling nature of Garba and Raas dances are of great worth and value and their benefits cannot be overemphasised. Within a short time of your attending the event, you will start to connect with some and then assimilate and blend with many others pleasantly and easily. 

 

By the end of a Garba and Raas evening you will have connected with many others. If the event has been well organised, you will have clicked sticks and engaged with everyone who takes their place on the whirling dancing circles . There is rarely any other dance form that can lead you into making some connection or contact so quickly with most everyone present. 

 

 

Garba and Raas dances are relatively easy to do. After just a short while, within 15 minutes or less, you will easily pick up the basic steps and get into the rhythm and the harmony. You will pick up enough in this short space of time to make sure that your dance is not awkward or embarrassing, either to yourself or to others.

 

With other dance forms it is not usually easy to achieve this level of mixing and mingling, even in a hall full of people known to each other. Here people will soon be dancing and connecting and clicking with each other. Here you will be, side by side and face to face, moving, flowing and dancing.  fooling around.

 

This form of dancing smoothly takes your mind off many troubles, and soon releases you from part of the toils, troubles and worries of day to day life.

 

There is also the magical nature of the circle and circle dances. The circle as a shape has significance.A circle of your friends, your friend circle. You can engage as a doer and as a watcher, both, as and how you choose. You can join and leave the circle as and when you wish. EXPAND

 

 

 

 

The songs and tunes for Garba and Raas are each twenty to thirty minutes long not just a few short minutes as is the case with most other dance music. The length of the tune is tailored so that the dance has a mellow beginning, a sumptuous middle and a rapturous ending. It is not over in a few shakes but has time to reach a crescendo. The time taken over the tune allows the dancers to be immersed in a symphony of spinning splendor, concluding in a fast and vibrant pulse

 

 

And on the benefits of music in general, studies have shown ( refer to research ) that music is beneficial .
