Goan kunbi Dance

One of the earliest folk dances of Goa is the Kunbi dance. This dance was mainly performed

 by the earliest settlers of Goa known as the Kunbis. The dance has more of a social

 element in it rather than a religious feeling. Their traditional attire adds the color to this

dance form.

The kunbi tribe of Goa has its own indigenous dance. Though the members of this community have converted to Christianity, under the influence of the Portuguese colonial rule, they still maintain their centuries old non-Christian traditional dance.

This dance is meant solely for social occasions. It is performed by the women folk. The movements are fast yet graceful. The attire is colorful but simple.
