Bharatanatyam - Indian classical dance

Bharatanatyam - Indian classical dance

Uploaded: September 13, 2007

Description

It is the most ancient of all the classical dance forms in India, which are based on Natya Shastra, the Bible of the classical Indian dance. This popular South Indian dance form called Bharatanatyam is a 20th century reconstruction of Cathir, the art of temple
dancers. Cathir in turn, is derived from ancient dance forms.

The word Bharata, some believe, signifies the author of the famous Sanskrit treatise on stagecraft, called NatyaShastra, and the word Bharatanatyam is sometimes given a folk etymology as follows:Bha for Bhava or abhinaya and expression, Ra for raga or melody, and Ta for tala or rhythm.

Thanks for looking.
