JODHPUR (India) - POPSTAR Madonna showed great dance moves in between her riding trips during a holiday in the Indian desert state of Rajasthan, her host said on Friday.

The 49-year-old singer, along with her film director husband Guy Ritchie, spent the past few days at a 17th-century heritage resort called Rohet Garh, about 40 kilometres from the historic city of Jodhpur.

'Madonna attended a party at the resort where she danced along with folk dancers. She was really good at it,' said Mr Thakur Manvendra Singh, owner of the Rohet Garh hotel.

Mr Singh said the pop icon, who lives in London, went horse riding and flew kites with her family.

'She came with her riding clothes. She was very keen on long rides during this trip,' Mr Khem Singh, who arranged Madonna's riding trips, told The Times of India newspaper.

Madonna, Ritchie and their three children were expected later to fly to India's western city of Mumbai, the Indian Express reported.

The trip after British newspapers reported that Madonna was to be granted full custody of her adopted son David from Malawi following a glowing social worker's report that described the star as 'a perfect mum.'

The singer has a daughter Lourdes, 11, by fitness trainer Carlos Leon and seven-year-old son Rocco with Ritchie. She is now looking to adopt a daughter from Cambodia, British newspapers say. -- AFP
