Traditional Indian Dance

very nice dance & da choreography was excellent

owesum. they dance from their toenails to their crown

I really like the rhythms, but the choreography is not all that good. The dancer lost a lot of the dynamic lines of the dance by hardly bending her legs. She really needs to study the concept of aramandi.

Is she not Indian ? She seemed very good all the same, to me that knows nothing of Indian traditional dance. I saw only what was shown on Louis Malle's "India". Looks much more disciplined and intricate than Western Ballet; far nicer to watch than that, comparatively, clumsy stuff.

@dinkipooxa I do not think she is Indian, but that is of no consequence as today there are many western dancers who are excellent exponents of Indian dance. This dancer is a bit wishy washy with her hand movements and should be dancing with her legs bent more deeply which is the tradition of this style known as Bharatha Natyam. The pure dance movements are very symmetrical and what is danced on the right side is usually repeated on the left side.

@rannajim i know the dancer and she is native indian ;-)

teach our kids their history..so when they stand next to children from the rest of the world they know and are proud of where they come from....india history is like burning jewel waiting to be cleaned from oppresion left by british rule!!!! indian kids learn your history the ppl that walked your land and their stories.

absolutely graceful - beautiful :)))

no :-( i'm sorry ... my battery ran out... though i am happy that i captured at least this much of that splendid dance :D

thank you! i really do agree with you.
