Indian dance is fast-paced, a 4-minute dance has about 50 movements. Including hand gestures, eyes, inner thoughts and facial expressions, this ever-changing posture can represent the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, and even natural phenomena such as heaven and earth, mountains and water, as well as day and night.
Before starting the dance, keep your legs bent and close your hands in an opening salute. The hands are stretched out and the feet take a step forward. The hands begin to change positions in time with the music. As the rhythm of "dong-dong" begins to emerge in the music, begin to change your foot movements. Keep smiling. The dance moves faster and faster, with lots of hand movements.
Expanded Information
Like music, the art of dance was also a means of earning a living. In India, dancers were popular in temples from ancient times, and Kalyanatha once described the situation of dancers in some of the temples of that time. In Baina's "The Line of the Lord of the Rings", it is mentioned that the Lord of the Rings danced for his son's birthday. But according to historical records, the social status of dancer-actors at that time was not high.
Even at the time of Brahmaputra, professional artistes in music and dance were already being discriminated against by the society, when the Brahmaputra Immortals had written a long story describing the humiliation suffered by the actors, indicating their lowly status in the society. But the arts of music and dance themselves were highly valued, and men and women of all classes studied both.
