Sammi ( Shahmukhi: سمّی) is a traditional dance form originating from the tribal communities of Punjab. [1] The dance is most popular in the Amritsar, Sandalbar and Pothohar regions of Punjab. [2]
The dancers are dressed in bright colored kurtas and full flowing skirts called Ghagra or Lehenga. A peculiar silver hair ornament is associated with this dance.
Like Giddha it is danced in a circle. The dancers stand in a ring and swing their hands bringing them up from the sides, right in front. The refrain of the most popular Sammi song is "Sammi Meri waar..".
