I believe dance is a hidden language of the soul. When word fails, music, song and dance fulfills the silence. In this era where our brain consumes loads of information on various subjects, we rely on our primitive art forms to relax our mind.

Kathak
I being a trained classical Kathak (Indian) dancer apart from my professional career, wherever I travel I try to find out about the local traditions of dance, music and songs.
It is fun to explore the kinds of rhythm different people like as it gives new insight into their culture.

During my travels, I have came across Folk Dances of Norway, Spanish Flamenco and Turkish belly dance to name a few. There are various dance forms all around the world. How I wish to experience all of them !!

The human body is beautiful. When music accompanies the different movements of the body, it becomes an art. But not all bodily movements constitute a dance form. There is a fine line between acrobatics and dance. Although dance requires physical fitness, but that is not all. It requires emotions, feelings and an understanding of the rhythms from within. It is an art where one can express a story, a sentiment a mood and an imagery in a small time frame. Dance is an ever evolving world of creativity.

Turkish Belly Dance

I was mesmerized by the sensuous and the gracious belly dance in Turkey. This dance is really a celebration of femininity. It is playful and lively. Though personally, I would prefer a background music that is a bit different!

The nice thing about dance is that any new idea can be implemented to create something refreshing. I guess that’s the beauty of art and creation and satisfaction of an artist and creator.
