CLASSICAL DANCES
Bharata Natyam: Bharata Natyam interprets the language of rhythm and melody in diverse patterns of curves, angles and lateral movements of precise rhythmic movements of the hands and the continuous footwork that is the basis of the dance. Rhythm and emotions are beautifully blended in Nritya, the expository dance that conveys poetic meaning in gestures and facial expressions combined with rhythmic gaits and postures.
Kathak Dance: The predominant style of Kathak dance is pure dance, footwork is its distinctive characteristic. The beauty of Kathak dance is the perfectly harmonized plastic patterns of the arms and curves of the body that give visible expression to the rhythm patterns of the feet. Variations in tempo, permutations of the timing cycle in cross rhythms, rapid turning movements and sudden still poses, are the technical formulae of Kathak. Flow of movement, grace and poise, are its aesthetic qualities.
FOLK DANCES
The primary impulse of Indian Folk dance is rhythm. From the simple beat of the drum to the complex rhythm of a cultivated art, it is the love of rhythm that creates the dance. Folk dances have a cultural background and are a vital part of India's artistic heritage.
