COASTAL COMMUNITY DANCE
The high-spirited life of the Kolis
Koli is the dance of the fisherfolk of Maharashtra and Goa. It is known for its bouncy, rhythmic movements that depict the daily routines of the fishing community: rowing boats, throwing nets, catching fish, and dancing on the shore. Performed in bright Koli outfits with handkerchiefs and miniature oars, it is incredibly infectious and brings high joy to any stage.
