From vamana avatara hasta i pay full respect to your deities, and i have to say bha is what unite all the soul and incarnations of all, so when you see a good or bad performance you are sharing bha, i needed 30 years to write this, because Anjalil Andanad has bha, yesterday i started gom and in 30 years i gonna write, bha-ra is all i can share today, and always i give you a full namascar from the bottom of the hart of sacalante

[ardhanariswar]

Kalakshetra style?

You should post a video of your dancing sometime!

[sancharram]

yeah same style just some steps are a little different

(no cuz u'll laugh at me)

[msfeminine]

Is there a big difference between the Kalashethra style and the others? Because I learnt the same style above in Sri lanka, but my guru is not a student from Kalashetra!

[ardhanariswar]

Alarippu is Alarippu, the basics don't change. What might change between each style is how far the hand might flip up (like during the kitathaka-thei tha-thei, Kalakshetra doesn't flip their hand completely palm up, other styles do). Something distinctly Kalakshetran is the adavu in 1:52-2:02, the leaning of the torso and stretching of the arms is popular with that style.

It could be that the one you learned was from Tanjore/Pandanallur bani which the Kalakshetra style is derived from.

Thank you so much for giving these information. :)

That's interesting to get to know about the Kalashethra style.

@msfeminine

There are different Alarippu in different Thaalam. Like Thistra Thaala Alarippu, Mistra Thaala Alarippu, n so on

La qualité de la vidéo n'est pas superbe mais les danseuse sont extraordinaire !!!!

si je mettait une note sur 20 je mettrai 19.j'ai enlevé un point parce qu'il manque de synchronisation à la fin.

[ardhanariswar]
