Dear all

Would like to get more informations on the folk dances of india,especially the Goomar dance of rajasthan ,Garba - Gujarath and various other states of India. We have a program coming up and the theme involves different folk styles of India. Please suggest VCD's or DVD's that can be purchased online on these styles. Pls suggest websites from where I could get more informations on the same.The prog is coming up by the end of November so will have to plan immediately.
