War dance form of Birbhum 'Raibeshe' got new life through his work.Gurusaday Dutt played a pioneer role to introduce traditional Bengali dances in front of the world.

Now we should have to discuss about ‘Raibeshe’. Raybeshe is a war dance, mainly performed in the  Birbhaum and surrounded districts. Raibeshe has a rich history,warriors performed this dance balancing on bamboo sticks before their war venture,so  this dance form are named as such. Gurusaday Dutt revived its old format of dance and his disciple Nabanidhar Bandyopadhay(Alaji) reconstruct Raibeshe dance rhytham with Dhol.
Nabanidhar Bandyopadhay along with Gurusaday Dutt also bring in front a indian type of gymnastics which were performed at the end of the 'Raibeshe Dance', it's termed as 'kasarat'. Performers show their physical flexibility to the audience.
