HJ1:Authentic (real) Bharatanatyam Bharatnatyam Indian dance

[goldensalangai]

This video should be among the Bharatanatyam items on DVDs at GeeDVD*com !

[ramona2003]

A pure joy to watch! Born to dance!

[SilverSteam1]

I love the fact that I understand none of the language but I can tell what part of the songs are about from her facial expressions. Simply brilliant!

[sunshineaish]

Harinie Jeevitha's performances can only be matched by Medha's (her 4 DVDs are on w w w . J a y Q .o r g ), even though in a different style.

These two are the greatest dancers in India!

[archu00007]

Those who compare her with Medha should check Medha's dancing on

[lewisleeming]

This is so unbelievably amazing.

[ohsnapitsme59]

It's hard to believe she is 11 years old!

[gr019]

is it me or is there some similarities with balinese dancing..amazing how similar some of the hand gestures and footwork are.

.

[Dzongka]

@gr019 Well, both are Hindu cultures, so that might explain it.

[masketorpe]

excellent dancer, better than Savitha Sastry

[toBe8ere]

i luv the dance and costume, but i am curious; is it part of the dance to smile so hard? and is it traditional to point the foot the way she does or pretend she's drinking something?

[samgeoff]

@toBe8ere Most Indian dances are like telling a story. So the facial expressions are equally important.

[BoxEffect]

@toBe8ere A big part of the dance is the expression; it's like trying to portray a story. That's why there's over-the-top smiles and dramatic kohl on the eyes of most of these dancers.

[orijiya]

@BoxEffect it's not as if, it telling a story, it is.This dance tells the story of Hindu deities.This dance is divided into seven phases.The opening is dedicated to Ganesha.There are other tribute later to other deities and the "narrative" of love stories vécues by the deities.It's always tell something. Kohl is a make up,and not just specific to dancers.

[orijiya]

@BoxEffect ,but it's traditional in India, because we find it beautiful. but it is true that it serves to emphasize the look and it helps to see the expression of eyes

[belleclover]

@kelvin94fernandez yes it is true that every step has a meaning i know this because i learn this traditional dance too

[LuisMigu31]

beautiful dance :) i love

[chervilify]

i would love to dance like that....and i wonder what the hand signs mean i would love to know

[UKNOWTHEIROUTTHEIR]

thats a lot of hair

[darkshadowSW]

@UKNOWTHEIROUTTHEIR it is supposed to be that way in bharathnatyam

[arjunsapphire]

@UKNOWTHEIROUTTHEIR and it is real too, brother

[Mathaantje7]

@UKNOWTHEIROUTTHEIR not all of it is her real hair, fake hair is braided in to make it longer ;p

[zertxer]

Proud to be Indian......proud of my luck to be born here.....

[LaGugu318]

[lotamishtimeye]

she is 11 in this video? She looks so much more mature! I would have thought her to be at least 16. She is very entertaining to watch though.

[MondrosenPrime]

Very beautiful...also I think the Indian dances influenced some Javanese royal court dances as well, as their main religion at the time was Hindu & Buddhism and they use Hindu texts in court.

[ss206]

she moves like a deer..lovely

[hitomusic]

Every frame can be paused and she's in absolute perfect form. EVERY SINGLE FRAME can be stopped and she looks like a statue that has been carved out of stone - a moment of perfection frozen in time and space. That is just beyond belief. Her execution of every movement and expression is astounding. Each and every movement is fully formed to exact completion with enthralling result. It's amazing magnificence. This is a monumental performance. World Heritage Treasure event captured on film.

[MegaFlauschii]

[pauafritter01]

[daabigailc]

She danced beautifully! I'd pay to see her any day!

[itachizlastresort]

what part of india is this in?

[sajvian]

@itachizlastresort

this is from Tamil nadu, south India

[kakukkari]

@itachizlastresort The art form 'Bharata-natyam' has its origin in the state of Tamil Nadu in India. However it is now a very common dance form in India, especially in the Southern States like Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Children normally start their training at the age of three, though there are latecomers too! The earlier they start, the better dancers they become!

[arbonac]

She's 11!?

[dLimboStick]

Beautiful, entrancing. The thing I love about Indian, and south asian dance in general, is how the face and especially the eyes play such an important part in the dance. Love it.

[viswanath13111981]

stylish and perfect performing , each & every movment and body language, face feelings EXCELENT

[cosmothechihuahuadog]

From what i've heard this kind of dancers enter an altered state of mind, kinda like religious ecstasy is this true?

[pushpanjali]

@cosmothechihuahuadog It;'s possible, Bharatanatyam can involve all types of yoga including meditation. Sufi dancing is more of a transcendental ecstasy dance though.

[sksinha14]

@pushpanjali

excuse me Sufi.. please correct yourself..

[kakukkari]

@cosmothechihuahuadog No, that is not true! These are trained Bharata Natyam dancers. They perform according to the pre-fixed dance-steps and hand-gestures (mudras) and face expressions (bhavam). While 'bhavam' requires the performer to 'act', they do not do it in ecstasy. Infact, they need to concentrate and focus their mind and body to the lyrics and the rhythm (thaalam) to reflect the story they are portraying through the dance. Each of these dances will be based on some ancient story.

[rbsadler]

@kakukkari Exactly! When my friend had her arangetram I was absolutely amazed at the physical stamina and focus it took. It's different from other dance in that bhavam is an integral part; in other forms of dance you can get away with breathing through the mouth or heavily through the nose, not here!

[computermaster]

very nice

[Ravibikkannavar]

The first song is natesha/nataraja/shiv kauthvam

[agelnik]

DANCE OF THE WORLD

wonderfyl indian dance!!!!!!!! HELLOW FROM GREECE

[nafolet]

This girl is a true talent. She is completely transformed by the dance. You look at her and you don't see a girl, you see a mythical sprit. Simply amazing!

[tooskool4cool]

oh my goodness, that was the coolest alarippu i've ever seen, i cant believe shes so young, shes got amazinggg talent!

[pushpanjali]

@tooskool4cool I don't think she does any ' Alarippu' in this video.

[5Shanny5]

Is this girl really only 11 years old? How can someone so young be able to express all of those emotions so well? This was a beautiful and amazing performance.

[ItsThatEveGirl]

SShe's 11!!!??? :/ WOw, so am I!!!!!!!!! yay

[Chizu8]

She can create marvels in Bharatanatyam...........

[smileypol]

Can someone give me the musical reference? I love the first " song" of this video. Doesz someone have its title ? Thanks in advance

[ndnflava]

[whalewatcher321]
