Therefore, in some part it is termed as generation dance. There are three main types of Jhummar dance, each of which has a different mood and is therefore suited to different occasions & for all reason of that predominating mood.

This dance is also performed in a circular form. The dancers dance around a single drummer standing at the center of round, wearing similiar costumes, such as the Bhangra. It is danced to the tune of emotional songs. The dance does not include any acrobatics and only the arm movements are considered as its main forte. Toes are musically placed in front and backwards and in the same way turnings are taken to the right or left. Sometimes the dancers place their one hand below the ribs on the left and gesticulate with the right hand. This dance is not tiresome and it is normally performed on moonlit nights in the villages away from the habitation.

It is mostly danced by tribal Sikh professional acrobats and during this, the dancers let-off a sound, "dee dee" in tune with the beat of the dance, which adds in its overall performance. This dance is also integrated from Bhangra. It is believed that this dance has originated from Sandalbar, now situated in Pakistan, but is very much a part of Punjab folk heritage. It is a dance based on specific Jhummar rhythm.
