Bharathanatyam

I remember the day I actually wanted to learn dance. That was few years back when one of the temple comittee invited one of the great dancer to the temple for a performance. The way the guy ( Dance Master)dance was so gud and I was actually mesmerised by his dance, the gestures and abhinaya(facial expression). I always ask my mom to actually gimme the permission to dance, but she refuse. The reason being is its too late to learn.

The interest that i have was very strong that I actually went to that Master and get his contact number. when I came here to further my studies, i actually contacted him and start joining the class.I was excited to join. I was told to get some fruits, flower, coconut and etc for the "Guru Darshana". This is to show your appreciation towards the Master.

yatho hasta thatho drishti;
yatho drishti thatho manah;
yatho manah thatho bhava;
yatho bhava thatho rasa.

The first day was real tiring. He is also a strict master.i used to travel very far and even got beaten by the master coz i actually stop moving my leg. I was so tireed!!!yet i dun blame him coz he is doin his job.

I stopped my dance class after doc had advice me to take a rest due to my health condition. well now I want to cont back my dance. I just cant wait to start my dance :)  >>>> Thaka Dhimmi thaka Dhimmi thakitha thakitha... tharikitha thom  ... :)
