About the Facilitators:
Vaarso, founded by Ahmedabad-based artists Isha Vora and Jiya Pandya, grew from a shared interest in bringing people closer to traditional Garba and its cultural roots. What began as an initiative driven by their love for the art form has evolved into an effort to preserve and pass on this heritage to future generations. Through their work, they have been conducting workshops exclusively across Gujarat.
Through curated workshops and Garba experiences, Vaarso explores traditional steps, rhythms, music and the spirit of the dance, offering participants an opportunity to engage with Garba beyond choreography and connect with its cultural heritage.
