Proving it true, the students of Saraswati Kanya Vidyalaya at Ambach village in the Tapi district surprised one and all by performing the traditional 'Bamboo dance', also called 'Cheraw dance', the traditional tribal dance of Mizoram. "They have been doing this for the past two to three years. These girls are from the tribal community. We thought of teaching them new things so that they may know about different cultures. People now invite us to functions for performances," said Reema, teacher of the group. The Cheraw or bamboo dance is a traditional dance of Mizoram. It is considered to be one of the oldest dance forms of Mizoram. The dance is believed to have emerged out of a ritual. In this dance form, bamboos are kept in horizontal or cross formation on the ground on which dancers dance.
