Two paths into
the circle.
Whether you're a lone dancer looking for your people, or a pass holder with open spots — GarbaSquad connects you.
No group? No problem.
Create your dancer profile
Your city, garba style (dodhiyu, be taali, sanedo…), a short bio and your WhatsApp — 90 seconds, done once.
Browse open squads
Filter by city, venue, night and vibe. Women-only and couples-only squads are clearly labelled. See each host's ratings before you ask.
Request, match & play
Send a short intro. When the group accepts, WhatsApp contacts unlock for both sides — coordinate the gate, meet, and step into the circle.
Open passes? Fill them well.
List your open passes
Venue, night, number of spots, price at face value (or free), and your group's vibe. Sixty seconds and it's live in the feed.
Review every request
See each requester's profile, mutual ratings and no-show strikes. You stay in full control of who joins your circle.
Welcome them & rate
Accept, coordinate on WhatsApp, meet at the gate, play all night. Afterwards both sides rate each other — reputation is earned.
The shield around
every circle.
Garba should feel free. Every one of these protections is live in the product today — not a promise for later.
Verified sign-in
Every member signs in with a real Google account — no anonymous profiles, no burner accounts in the circle.
Mutual ratings
After every night, both sides rate each other. Your reputation follows you through all nine nights and into next season.
Private contact reveal
WhatsApp numbers are never public. They unlock only between two people after a request is accepted — and only then.
Women-only & couples-only squads
Hosts can restrict listings, and seekers can filter by them. The label is part of the listing, visible before you ever request.
Report & block
Every profile has a report button. Harassment means a permanent ban — one strike, zero tolerance, no exceptions.
No-show strikes
Didn't show up? It's marked on your profile for every future host to see. Trust is the currency here.

Solo dancers, couples and pass holders on the nights they found their squad.
“Came to Amdavad for work, knew nobody. Found a squad for GMDC in one evening — the girls even lent me a dupatta. Danced all nine nights!”
“We had two extra United Way passes going to waste. Listed them in a minute, picked a couple with great ratings — now we're friends beyond Navratri.”
“The women-only filter is why I trust this. I could see every requester's ratings before accepting. Zero awkwardness, all garba.”
“Filled 4 open passes at face value in two days. No scalpers, no haggling — just dancers who actually showed up and matched our vibe.”
“Moved from Rajkot, missed my garba circle badly. One request, one accept, and I was doing dodhiyu at Rajpath with my new squad.”
“WhatsApp only unlocks after you accept someone — that's the detail that convinced my parents. Safe, simple, and completely free.”
“The no-show strikes actually work. Everyone we accepted turned up at the gate on time. Reputation matters here and it shows.”
“Rated my host 5 stars, she rated me back — next night two squads accepted me instantly because of it. Best garba season I've had.”

What is GarbaSquad?
GarbaSquad is a free community platform where garba groups with extra Navratri passes connect with singles and couples who want to play garba. You join a group for a night — it's squad-finding, not ticket resale and not dating.
How do I find a garba group in Ahmedabad (Amdavad)?
Open the squads feed, filter by Ahmedabad and the night you want to play, and send a join request with a short intro to any group that matches your vibe. Once the group accepts, you coordinate the meetup on WhatsApp.
I have extra Navratri passes — can I list them?
Yes. Create a listing with your venue, night, number of open passes and price (face value or free), and your group's vibe. You review every requester's profile and ratings before accepting anyone into your squad.
Is GarbaSquad safe for solo women?
Safety is the core of the platform: verified Google sign-in, mutual ratings after every night, visible no-show strikes, women-only and couples-only listing filters, report & block on every profile, and a zero-tolerance harassment policy with permanent bans.
How much does GarbaSquad cost?
GarbaSquad is completely free. Passes are shared at face value between users, paid in person at the meetup — the platform never handles money and takes no commission.
Which cities does GarbaSquad cover?
All major cities of Gujarat for Navratri 2026 — Ahmedabad (Amdavad), Vadodara, Surat, Rajkot, Gandhinagar, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Anand, Nadiad, Mehsana, Bharuch, Navsari and Morbi — including venues like GMDC Ground, Rajpath Club, Karnavati Club, United Way Garba and MA Foundation Garba.
