Moderator's note: To prevent more and more "+1" and "-1" posts, I've made this thread into a poll. If you'd like to contribute a simple preference, please use the poll.

How come "turtles" isn't an option in the poll?

Garba. Thran Tali

Gahh. Tran Tali is sooo boring
12 step raas!

Every major city/gujarati samaj has their own variation of 12 step! I've seen some redneck 12 step variations. And raas is fun, but garba is folk. Anyone can do raas - circle and lines, even with all the spinning, dandia throwing and partner stuff... but how many people have you seen get on a dance floor and truly own the garba?

kinnell... i throw DOWN with garba. me and the guys/girls i grew up with wreck pretty much anyone, even tho we dont have HUGE HUGE navratri celebrations like other places. straight up, we rip it, not even trying to be cocky lol. Garba > rass.

Let's make this happen. My sister and I are known to rip garbas a new one. Next competition, we're combining forces!

Kinnell were you the one vote for Raas lol

 

[karan923]

I have no idea how garba/raas got into this conversation. That's not what I was trying to say but oh well.

 

[kinnell]

Kinnell were you the one vote for Raas lol

And it seems Raas is about to overthrow Modern Bhangra. Kantaben for the fucking win.

But we should definitely make something happen, me an my boys can tear some garba/raas lines up, so far we haven't found anyone that can keep up haha...we gota get a thread goin on during navratri and have a BTF Garba Gathering one weekend

As a former Raas Dancer, and former future raas captain...long story. I am in.

 

[ChiragT]

Haha this is exciting. I will be sure to remember this come October. I have a feeling that a garba/raas line full of bhangra dancers would be ridiculous. We gota make this happen haha

 

[masterscorpiorv]

wow, so I been MIA from BTF during the holidays, but SO wish i was here when these posts went down

but Kinnell I'm too lazy to see who your having a garba-showdown with, but Count a 3rd party in,

me and my fellow NYC gujjus, everybody knows NY gujjus can rip up garba the best...

NJ people, fine ill give it to them, their 2nd best lol

I love how Garbas being compared to traditional bhangra and Raas to Modern. I definitely agree, Garba requires a shitload more skill than raas.
