Khukri dance

New Delhi, Jan 22: A video of a Gorkha soldier performing the Khukri dance went viral on social media. It is said that the soldier perform the Khukri dance in the interval time at Republic Day Parade Rehearsal at Vijay Chowk in New Delhi.

Khukuri dance not only symbolizes courage but also demands courage. Only the bravest are entrusted with a khukuri. It is not easy to balance Khukuri while following the beats and elegantly moving your feet.

You will witness the fearless dancers playing with their wrists and fingers to perform astonishing stunts with Khukuri in this folk dance. Khukuri Dance is a celebration of victory, and the cheer is evident in the performance. The happy faces performing brave tricks with the knife will tell you the story of courage that runs in the veins of Nepalis.

Since Khukuri dance includes the use of a dangerous knife, the movements are restricted. The dancers stand in their fixed position throughout the performance and use their legs to match the beat. This folk dance is all about power, and thus the energy emitted by the performance is inevitable. Even if you are not part of their victory, you will feel proud after watching the powerful Khukuri Naach.
