Garba Groovers
Garba Groovers is a Hamilton-based, Indian-origin folk dance group that’s on a mission to make Garba a global art form. Garba is a folk dance that originated in the state of Gujarat (a state in India). It’s highly energetic, vibrant and extremely inclusive (there are no age or gender barriers). In 2023, UNESCO has inscribed the Garba dance on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is performed in groups, with everyone moving in concentric circles, mirroring each other’s traditional Garba steps, while grooving to the drum beats and the singing in the background. The conceptual basis of Garba dance was constituted by the following elements: 1) clap 2) tap 3) snap and 4) spin. Owing to the colourful attires of the dancers and the coordinated twirling movements, clap-snap combinations, hand gestures, and rhythmic footwork, it’s a visual spectacle for the audience. As artists, Garba Groovers i have reaped the benefits of this art form in a multi-dimensional way. The obvious ones being the fact that it’s an excellent fitness regime, a stress buster, and a creative outlet for experimentation. But above all of that, they feel that Garba has the power to build communities. Come see them perform, try out a few steps, and you will go back with a smile.

True Hamiltonian
How do you respond when someone looks down their nose at you because of where you live? No matter where you call home, someone is bound to snub you for it. But 10 years ago, Hamilton was still being referred to as the “arm-pit of Ontario.” It had a rotten reputation, even from people who lived here. Today, though, I dare anybody to use that slur within 5 km of Jackson Square. You’re liable to get chased all the way down King Street and back onto the 403. There is fierce pride in Hamilton. But people like True Hamiltonian‘s Max Francis were standing up for this city before it was cool. True Hamiltonian is so proud of this community and everything they do or make is an extension of that.
