The Meaning of Dance

Classical Indian dance encompasses many distinct forms: religious, educational, and some that are purely for entertainment. In all forms, precise movements help to convey the emotion and story associated with the music. Each of the dancer's graceful, hypnotic gestures are rife with meaning. Distributed by TubeMogul.
