Dance

Bharatanatyam is the oldest classical dance tradition of India and consists of intense footwork and a codified vocabulary of sign language that includes gestures of hands, eyes and face.
Pieces range from solo work to group choreography as the dance form allows for intense variety within the set framework. 
Bharatanatyam is a Sanskrit mnemonic for what the dancer reflects as a performer.  Bha stands for bhava (feelings, emotions), ra stands for raga (melody, framework for musical notes), and ta stands for tala (rhythm).  Natya is the Sanskrit word for dance.  ​​
