@KillinDaWelfareMCs You have to be be familiar with the medium before you can appreciate any Indian classical dance. First, and foremost, it is not interpretive dance, it is the retelling of the Ramayana. The dancer is judged how well he or she keeps in timing, hence the ankle bells, called 'gejjai' in Tamil, or 'payal' in Hindi. Some of the hand gestures (mudras) are for retelling the story, and others are for pure dance.

Just realised who you are now.
BYEEEEE

Ohhhh, I see. So, you're a white British Indophile? That's lovely :-). What was your first impression when visiting India for the first time?
-
nothing wrong with asking, though. I like white indophiles since there aren't countless of them here in the west like there is with Sinophiles or Japanophiles. The Asian craze is largely focused on the countries with peoples who have similar eyelid shape. It would be nice if people in the west would recognize India as part of Asia, not just simply underneath it.

Well, if Nick is your name then it is derived from Nicholas. Sure, there are Indians with Christian names, though most people in the world with Christian names are not Indian. So, what are you then? A white Indophile or an Indian Christian?

My friend, THIS style of dance is many centuries old &, IMO, is MUCH better than any interprative dance today.
