it is so irritating to me that how these stupid dance shows do not have any respect for the classical dances like ?!?!? i bet u my whole fucking life that these stupid dance show's so called "judges" can't do any type of classical dance and yet they go on shitting stuff like "ur dance was nice but a fusion or a different form would be even better" from they mouth like yk what else would be better? u stop breathing. yeah.
like the amount of disrespect they show to these superior dance forms like Bharatnatyam and kathak and all by fusioning them with these so called international dances like no disrespect to international dance forms but they are in no way superior to our own classical dance forms. a classical dancer goes through so much during their dance trainings. a ballerina is respected because her foot suffers so much in her dance trainings learning ballet so why are these classical dancers not getting THEIR respect that they DESERVE. look at a classical dancer's feet. it would not be soft cute uwu rather it would be hardened and will have calluses that shows the years wirth of trainings and pains they suffered yet u want to mix that dance form with other dance forms? just bc u think that the classical dance form alone is 'boring'?
Art is something that is beyond culture and traditions, i agree but that does not mean one has to lose their originality, their identity to cater to someone else's standards. if a classical dancer only performs classical dance it is NOT 'boring', it is NOT 'less talented' than others. please stop. stop making it seem like a classical dancer needs to have some international dance forms mixed/fusioned with their original dance forms to looks more 'interesting'.

guys I'm beginning to think Gajendra Moksham is all just an elaborate test of "how much pain are you willing to put yourself through for your art?"

Some of the old documentary shows are pretransparent about the appropriation/erasure in Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi and other classical dances in india. One won't see such criticisms these days (this video isn't even about the appropriation, they just gave a small input in the vid) given how insecure people have become about their culture or are being alarmingly led into insecurity. Why isn't protecting your fellow people from casteism and patriarchy seen higher than pride in lies?

The technique of Indian Classical dance as mentioned in numerous treatises begins with Natyashastra and progress through the medieval works of 16th and 17th Centuries. Indian dance synthesizes the techniques of other arts to evolve an art which was considered the most significant of all.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul.
Dance is the hidden language of the soul. Dancing helps you to stay physically and mentally fit. Even more so, dancing regularly can improve your general well-being, boosts your self-esteem and has also been shown to improve your social skills. No matter if you’re a professional dancer or enjoy dancing as a recreational activity, it sometimes can be a little difficult to get up from the comfortable couch and attend dance class.
To help you with igniting that initial spark that gets you dancing, we’ve compiled the following selection of inspirational dance quotes. These are the quotes that’ll get you excited for that particular moment when the music is turned on and your entire body begins moving to the beat.
Dance is not only a wonderful way to express yourself but also a fantastic spare time activity you can enjoy with your partner. Dancing will definitely boost your mood, helps you to forget everything around you, and allows you to bond with your partner.
