Kalbelia dance has its roots embedded deep inside the Indian history. The famous dance form was created by the ancient nomadic tribe, Kalbelia.

Over the years, they have become extremely famous for their sensuous dance which is performed by men as well as women of the tribe on joyful occasions.

One of the main attractions of the performance is the eminent dancer, Gulabo Sapera who has been honored by the Indian President’s award and is known all over the country for her graceful performances. She has also been an icon for many and Indian populace not only admires her for her dancing skills but also for her meteoric rise which didn’t come easy for Sapera. She initially had a tough life and was even buried alive by her family just after an hour of birth but things gradually changed and since then Gulabo has been impressing tourists as well as locals with her mesmerizing skills. Because of her fervid passion for the folk dance, she has also been the topic of interest for French authors; “Gulabi Sapera, danseuse gitane du Rajasthan” which means “Gulabo, the gypsy dancer from Rajasthan” is a French biography written by Thierry Robin and Véronique Guillien and vividly describes the journey of Gulabo from being a native of distant village to being a national icon.
