## Summary
DJ Wale plays garba and dandiya raas nights for Navratri, community associations, temples, schools and private parties across central Ohio. We play continuous garba rounds with smooth tempo changes, raas for dandiya, and Bollywood afterwards, with sound that reaches every circle in a large hall.

## Overview
Garba is a test of a DJ. The circle needs a steady rhythm for long stretches, tempo changes that dancers can follow, and a smooth switch into dandiya raas. Long gaps or sudden jumps break the circle.

We play long, mixed garba rounds that move from traditional to modern, build tempo gradually, and drop into raas at the right moment. For large halls, we place speakers so outer circles hear as clearly as the center.

We play Navratri nights for community groups and associations, school and university garba events, and private garba parties at homes and halls.

## What's included
- **Continuous rounds:** Long mixed garba sets with smooth tempo changes.
- **Dandiya raas:** Raas rounds with the right rhythm for sticks.
- **Full-hall sound:** Speaker placement that reaches every circle.
- **Live dhol:** Dhol on top of garba for big moments.
- **Microphone:** Announcements, aarti and prize giveaways.
- **Lighting:** Warm hall lighting and dance-floor effects.

## How a garba night runs
1. **Aarti** (Opening): Microphone and audio for the aarti.
2. **Traditional garba** (Round one): Steady classic garba to start the circles.
3. **Modern garba** (Round two): Remixes and faster tempo as the floor fills.
4. **Dandiya** (Raas): Raas rounds for sticks.
5. **Bollywood** (Close): An optional Bollywood and bhangra set to finish.

## Music
Traditional garba, modern garba remixes, raas and dandiya tracks, and Bollywood and bhangra to close. We take requests from organizers on the garba songs your community loves.

## Planning tips
- Plan the aarti time and any announcements with us in advance.
- For large halls, share the floor plan so we can place speakers.
- Decide on dandiya timing and whether sticks are handed out or brought by guests.
