Cheraw or the ‘Bamboo Dance’ is part of the great rituals of Mizoram, characterised by the use of bamboo staves to set the rhythm for the dancers. The dance is believed to have survived since the 1st century C.E. Earlier, it was enacted as part of rituals to provide peace to the departed soul of a mother who had left her new-born child. Now, however, the dance is performed on various festive occasions such as the Chapchar Kut, a spring-time festival. The festival is held in March every year, during the period when bamboo trees are cut and left to dry so that they can be burnt to clear the fields for agricultural purposes. The process is also known as ‘jhum’. The Cheraw performers usually dance in groups of six to eight, though the numbers can vary. Two bamboo staves are placed horizontally on the ground. The male performers, who are in pairs, hold two bamboo staves and clap them against each other and on the floor rhythmically.
