Nowrūz (Persian language: نوروز [noʊruːz]), meaning 'New Day') is the traditional ancient Iranian festival and also the start day of Iranian "New Year".
Nowruz is celebrated and observed by Iranian peoples and the related cultural continent and has spread in many other parts of the world, including parts of Central Asia, South Asia, Northwestern China, the Crimea and some ethnic groups in Albania, Bosnia, Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia.
Nowruz marks the first day of Spring and the beginning of the year in Iranian calendar. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox, which usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day depending on where it is observed. As well as being a Zoroastrian holiday and having significance amongst the Zoroastrian ancestors of modern Iranians, the same time is celebrated in the Indian sub-continent as the new year. The moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year and Iranian families gather together to observe the rituals.
The term Nowruz in writing, first appeared in Persian records in the second century AD, but it was also an important day during the time of the Achaemenids (c. 648-330 BC), where kings from different nations under the Persian empire used to bring gifts to the emperor also called King of Kings (Shahanshah) of Persia on Nowruz.
The UN's General Assembly in 2010 recognized the International Day of Nowruz, describing it a spring festival of Persian origin which has been celebrated for over 3,000 years.In 2009 Nowrūz was officially registered on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Since 2010, the United Nations General Assembly recognizes March 21 as the "International Day of Nowruz".

The Swanage Folk Festival is held every year in the small resort quite close to where I live in Dorset, UK and has been running since 1992. Shyness is definitely not a characteristic of the majority of the dancers & musicians.
The dancers come in all shapes & sizes, always colourful & show many different styles of folk dancing. Dancers come from as far afield as Australia & Canada. On the Saturday the groups of dancers work their way along the promenade dancing almost continuously, pretty exhausting I guess.
On a field overlooking the bay there is also a marque with singers/musicians providing free entertainment; children's activities, craft stalls, food stalls etc and is a really friendly mood lifting event for everyone no matter what age.
Well worth a visit as it a festival that makes you smile & is an event for all ages to participate & for all ages to enjoy looking on.

Tribal dance at SONAJHURI HUT, SANTINIKETAN
Shantiniketan famous for Visva Bharati University ,Tribal culture and Baul song (Folk Song) .Visva Bharati University was founded by Rabindra Nath Tagore .
Artistic Expression: For many participants specially women from different parts of Indian and the world, the dance offers a platform for artistic expression and happiness within as I have realized from their expressions . It allows them to showcase their skills in traditional dance forms, often accompanied by traditional music and costumes.
Educational and Learning Opportunities: Another thing worth mentioning is that particularly for younger generations, participating in traditional dances offers a chance to learn about their cultural heritage firsthand. It helps in passing down traditions and values to future generations.
