==Ghunghroo vadan==

''Ghunghroo vadan'' is a music style evolved by V. Anuradha Singh, an Indian classical kathak exponent. She developed bells as a main musical instrument and performs in many pure music festivals where dance is not allowed. ''Ghunghroo vadan'' focuses solely on foot movement as percussive art (100 minutes, non-stop in one place).
