There are numerous benefits in a garba happening
socialising
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.
dancing
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. 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.
music
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
