Classical dance is considered divine, depicting the incarnations of the lord... This is utter bullshit, you should be ashamed to do this.

@MsSpooky6 Oh yeah ? This video is the 11th incarnation.

this is the most disgracefull thing that can ever happen to the indian dance which dates back more than 2000 years... u dont support it, we dont care, but dont insult it....... be proud as indian and try to make things that make other to see our pride not our awfullness by showing others our most precious culture

@MsSpooky6 The same thing happened many times peviously to many other cultures. For example, in Europe, *all* music was at one time considered sacred and could *only* be played in church. As composers began using the science of music developed in the church to write secular music (and esp because they deviated from the somber "church modes"), there was a backlash. When gospel music was co-opted into jazz halls, many individuals felt this was a sick perversion of sacred music.

@MsSpooky6 hang in there buddy, good luck

@danielmrussell I dont think you understand what classical dance is in that case. DO not comment without proper knowledge about the field. In previous days classical was performed in the temples of gods. Classical dancing depicts incarnation of Natraj, Avatar of Lord Shiva himself. Even if there is a huge cultural evolution, it will and should never loose its essence.

Whoa this is not good. Where did you guys learn, did you teach yourself via YouTube?

I'm looking at this video and the comments from a dis-interested anthropological viewpoint.

I find it interesting that all culture is evolved over time, and includes the very important of mixing and rehashing older cultures into newer ones. I think sometimes we forget this. If this didn't happen, then we wouldn't have the cultures we have now.

American music and dance is a (fairly short and quick) evolution from the melding of African, Irish, and the rest of European music (primarily).
