Jeona Morh

[Tuckerrrr]

I was wondering why the Jeona Morh step is named so. Most of the step names make sense; this seemed pretty random. I know the story of Jeona Morh (according to the old Punjabi movie), but I'm curious as to how the step got named after a robber who ended up dying to protect his family after the bezti he caused them. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

the movement of the step must have some sort of significance to the story?

 

[COMTONDAJATT]

Someone told me it was because they named each set of steps after the type of boli they were singing. So since they did not have a specific name for that step they called it the Jeona Morh step because it corresponded to the Jeona Morh boli. Now that step can be danced to any type of boli. Someone probably has a better or more correct answer though.

Thats an anda or "egg" in english lol..

 

[Opinder]

well i kno we call it 'anda' because u move in a oval shaped way

 

[Mukandpuria]

because during the folk tale Jeona Morh ran around in circles


......


nawww kidding...just to build on COMTONDAJATT, i to herd the same thing when i asked this question to a team in punjab...they were singing that boli and it just got labeled that.

 

[Manjot]

I think people just needed names to label the moves rather then being like when you spin in a circle or w/e so the name started from that maybe...unless some1 got a better explanation lol

Whats the jeona morh boli? I've heard this boli used for the step: "kaley paani o morh nu kaath kish ne paya, badla lan ley soneya, jey mah dha jaya haii". Id that it?

Yeah I think that is the boli jeona morh was originally done to, I've seen it in a couple of vids.

Check it out at 2:52 they do jeona morh to that boli.
