Bharatha Natyam-What are you?





The traditional Indian dance history carries sad and conflict to keep it as respectable as a form of an art. As the contemporary dance enter into the dance (Medury 109). It seemed most of the counties experienced comparable confusion while adapting the inevitable changes through influence of modern dance. India underwent the changes through politic, economic, and immoral religious prostitution practices rather than holding sacredness, unity and purity of their lives and the art of dance form (Medury103-104). The dance has been defiled. Therefore, what is The meaning of Bharathanatyam and how the independent Padma Subramanyam said about her dance?


Despite of the reputation of profaned and corrupt way of bharatha natyam, been danced and sang by symbolic Devadasi temple dancer (Medury 103). What is The meaning of Bharathanatyam? According to the website, it is simply the four most important of dance: Bhava is emotion, Raaga is music, Taala is rythum, and Natyam is dance (https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=bharatanatyam%20dance).
 It faced with abolishment in 1920s and ousted from the temple in the first half of the twentieth century, some dance advocators are determining to discover and preserve the meaning and the authentic expression as possible in the art of the dance (Medury105).


On the other hand, some desires to be independently create their individuality as Padma Subramanyam said that she left the India to make her own traditional dance in her body, thought, and action which most of the traditional dancer are do not experience (Medury 111-112).

I was not able to locate the dance by Dr. Medury. I hope you will enjoy viewing the traditional and fusion dance of India.
