The dance for which dancers tie rattles around their leg is often referred to as the "ankle bells" or "ankle rattles" dance. This type of dance is common in many cultures, including various Indian classical and folk dances such as Kathak, Odissi, and Bharatanatyam. The ankle bells, known as ghungroo in India, create rhythmic sounds when the dancer moves, accentuating the footwork and adding an auditory element to the performance.
