Bharatanatyam is one of the major forms of classical Indian dance. It originated thousands of years ago as a temple dance, a way to tell stories with rhythm and music. For centuries, dancers have combined intricate footwork and lyrical hand movements to tell stories that wre culturally important. Recently, bharatanatyam has changed and evolved. It has been performed in religious as well as secular environments, in temples and behind the stage lights, it continues to have an important place in our lives. This place is bharatanataym, but with a few changes that make it "culturally important," to our generation of Indian American dancers. Enjoy!
