The greatest blessing that Garba and Raas events bring are those participating in these happenings, with people of all sexes from the age of two to the age of eighty and over, all gathered in one place for an evening of spinning and swaying, dancing and playing
Devotion for the elders, devotion for the divine, devotion for the happening. Romantic representations for the youth, religious themes for the older, philosophy and arts for the learned. Goddesses for the assurance of wealth and prosperity for the business minded joining Goddesses of power and strength for the weak
All worshipped by clapping circles and battles with sticks and wrapped up in fun and laughter.Something for mostly all, especially the adorned princesses, the prancing princes, not to mention some glittering queens
Children are generally told to behave and keep still and their natural exuberance is dampened. JUST IMAGINE THE HORROR ! Children having fun, running around, jumping, twirling, and a leaping? God forbid ! Children do not generally get the chance to dance and prance in abundance.
Children are full, of suppressed energy seeking release. That is why they like to play and jump around. Dancing is by far the best activity to release this energy as it allows them to express themselves freely without risk of harm. Of course the best dancing styles have to be chosen to make the most of this exuberance
