Pung Cholom is a distinctive classical dance of Manipur.
This dance may be performed by men or women and it is generally a lead up to the Ras Lila. Wthin this method, the dancers play the pung (i.e hand beaten drum) at the same time as they dance. Dancers need to be polite, charming and flexible at the same time. They exercise these acrobatic effects without breaking the tempo or flow of music. The dance is marked by a gentle rhythm, which gradually builds up to a thunderous climax
