The Sammi Dance which possibly has origins in nomadic tribal society in the western part of Punjab, now in Pakistan, has taken on a new life on the stage in recent times. A women's dance, it builds its theatrical context based on certain foci of the communal life of village women and though a narration of the romance of Sammi, a legendary heroine, gives voice to their inner emotion. The dance is performed to a repertoire of songs special to Sammi. The Dhol provides the rhythm.
