Garba Basics | 3 Day Beginners Course | Age 13+
Each class builds on the previous one.
For the first time ever, Götebros is bringing a structured 3-Day Beginner Level Garba class in Göteborg. So by the time Navaratri events come around, you'll know what to do, whether you're Gujarati or completely new to garba. 🌟And if you enjoy the course, you may even have the opportunity to perform with the Götebros dance team during our Navratri celebrations in front of an audience of 100+ people.🌟 ✨ New to Garba? It's a joyful Indian folk dance, danced in circles to energetic music—super social, beginner-friendly, and loads of fun! The course is progressive, so attending all 3 classes is important. Book our 3-day complete package to avail a price reduction. Still if you're not sure if Garba is for you yet, then Single Class Entry is a low-pressure way to try it first and continue for Class 2 and Class 3. And not to forget we have a festivity surprise! Class 3 not just comes with learning but with an experience. We will dress up and enjoy Garba Socials (Sheri Garba) on Class 3. What you will take with you? By the end, you'll have clear Garba basics at a beginner level and the "confidence" to twirl through Gothenburg's Navratri events like you've been doing it for years. Check the “What you’ll learn” section below to know more. 🎥 You will also receive recap videos of the classes you booked so you can practice at home. Pricing: 🌟 Early Bird - Full Course (all 3 classes): 199 kr (before Aug 22, 13:00) 🎟️ Single Class Entry: 89 kr

Everything you need to know before joining.
You can join Class 2 and Class 3. But since it's a progressive course, we recommend all 3 classes for the best experience for you as an individual and the entire class. And if you book the full package but miss a class, you'll get the recap video for it. And if you book Class 2 and 3 only you will get recap for those two classes. So we recommend to opt for Full package in this case. Recap videos are included if you've booked the Full Package upfront or added classes separately.
Yes, this can work, especially for a genuine emergency or calendar clash. Since the course is progressive, we'd ask you to catch up on Class 2 at home using the "recap video" before joining Class 3. This way you won't feel lost, and everyone else's flow stays uninterrupted too. Recap videos are included if you've booked the Full Package upfront, or added Class 2 and Class 3 separately after your Class 1 trial.
This is a progressive course where each class builds on the previous one. The discounted 3-class package is our way of encouraging participants to commit to the full learning experience from the start. If you try Class 1 and love it, you're welcome to continue at 89 krs per class. The full package simply offers the best value for those ready to commit upfront.
No, our garba class is designed for all gender and 13+ age (if there are special limitations do let us know during the class and we will improvise steps for whoever needs simpler version). Garba does include spins so if you are uncomfortable with spins due to physical constraints, just let the instructor know so they can assist you with another step instead of spins.
Not at all! This is a beginner-paced folk dance class. But garba involves some footwork and light turns — nothing intense, but it is real physical movement, so a basic level of fitness helps. If spins are difficult for you for any reason, just let the instructor know when registering or during workshop. We're happy to adapt the steps so you can still take part and enjoy the class.
Yes, please don't come on an empty stomach or fasting whole day. Since there's movement and some spinning involved, we'd recommend a light meal about 1 to 1.5 hours before your session.
