Saila Dance

Saila Dance :

Saila dance is performed by the young boys of Chattisgarh during the post harvest time.

 Saila is a stick-dance and is popular among the people of Sarguja, Chhindwara and Betul districts.

In this region the Saila dance is also known as Danda Nach or Dandar Pate.

Saila dance comprises over half a dozen varieties.

 The Saila dance often comes out with many variations and much buffoonery.


Sometimes the dancers form a circle, each standing on one leg and supporting himself by holding on to the man in front.

 Then they all hop together round and round.
