I'm a white girl with a love for Indian Classical Dance and Bollywood/South Indian cinema. When I discovered the various forms of Indian Classical Dance, I was completely enthralled- I'd never heard of them and had never seen those types of movements. The varied hand gestures and beautiful angular lines made by the body were fascinating! I find these dance forms incredibly unique and wish more people in the West knew about them. I think Odissi is my favorite form because of its femininity and flowing, curved movements. I dabble a bit in practicing what I see from videos but it's mostly for my own enjoyment. :D

I almost always mention the source of the video. If you like a clip, BUY THE DVD! :D

My top favorite South Asian DVD retailer is nehaflix.com. Others: Kalakendra.com (nice), JayQ (bad-bootleg), AnyTamil.com (mostly originals, some copies), MusicIndiaMovies.com (95% original, very cheap).

Hello Minaimai

Could you please send me the song of Sujata Mohapatra's Odissi song - "Kede Chanda"? I am interested in listening to the bal-leelas of Lord Shri Krishna. I have the same sng but in female voice. I didn't find that song in male voice anywhere on internet.

Radhe Radhe!

Dhurjati
