Cheraw, also known as the Bamboo Dance, is a mesmerizing traditional dance from Mizoram, a northeastern state of India. In this captivating performance, skilled dancers manipulate long bamboo poles by clapping them together rhythmically while others gracefully step in and out of the moving bamboo. The choreography involves precision, timing, and coordination as the bamboo sticks are struck together close to the feet of the dancers, creating intricate patterns and beats. Cheraw is not only a stunning visual spectacle but also a testament to the dexterity and cultural richness of the Mizoram people, often performed during festivals and special occasions.
