‘Ramola Dancing Group' at Gopalpur, under Durgapur upazila in Netrakona district, is fast gaining recognition in the area.
Ramola Hajong, an artiste trained at the Birishiri Upajatiyo Cultural Academy, formed the dance group two years ago. Currently the group has 20 members -- all of whom are members of the Hajong community and have been trained by Ramola with the help of Rasimoni Kalayan Trust and SARA (two local NGOs in Durgapur).
The dance group usually performs traditional pieces at programmes. The founder of the group Ramola said, “I want to emphasise on and represent our indigenous traditions through the group's performances.”
She added that there was no Hajong cultural troupe and she wanted to represent the community she belonged to and introduce traditional dance of the Hajongs to the outsiders. Ramola said that she received help from Sawpon Hajong, general secretary of Rasimoni Kalayan Trust, in this regard.
An optimistic Ramola seems eager to work towards her goal.
