About Bharatnatyam Foundation 4
Bharatanatyam, a pre-eminent Indian classical dance form presumably the oldest classical dance heritage of India is regarded as the mother of many other Indian classical dance forms. Conventionally a solo dance performed only by women, it was initiated in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu and eventually flourished in South India. The theoretical base of this form traces back to ‘Natya Shastra’, the ancient Sanskrit Hindu text on the performing arts. A form of illustrative anecdote of Hindu religious themes and spiritual ideas emoted by dancers with excellent footwork and impressive gestures its performance repertoire includes nrita, nritya, and natya. Accompanists include a singer, music, and particularly the guru who directs and conducts the performance.
