THE JOY OF DANCE- CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

THE JOY OF DANCE - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

Indian dance has always been full of joy. 

The lyrics of the songs had meaning, the music touched the heart, there was grace -- it was a complete package.  Even the movement of a finger or an eyebrow had meaning.

Lately we have been westernised our dances -- do we need to ape?

Do we need all this jerky gymnastics and acrobatics?  

If we need to see all this we can go to the circus or go for a gymnastics event, right?

I do hope Indian dance is NOT reduced to cartwheels and somersaults, tip-toeing , stretching out legs asunder and swirls --
