Bharatanatayam is an Indian Classical dance form that originated from the temples of South India. The term Bharata in Bharatanatyam, in the Hindu tradition, is believed to have named after the famous performance art sage to whom the ancient Natya Shastra is attributed. According to this belief, bha stands for bhava (feelings, emotions), ra stands for raga(melody, framework for musical notes), and ta stands for tala (rhythm). The term Natyam is a Tamil word for "dance". The compound word Bharatanatyam thus connotes a dance which harmoniously expresses "bhava, raga and tala"
Kathak is an Indian Classical dance form that originated from the traveling bards of ancient northern India known as Kathakars or storytellers. The term Kathak is derived from the Vedic Sanskrit word Katha which means "story", and Kathaka which means "the one who tells a story", or "to do with stories". Wandering Kathakas communicated stories from the great epics and ancient mythology through dance, songs and music.
Bollywood is a dance form that emerged from the Indian cinemas, and fuses various dance forms.
Indian Classical Dances are an ultimate source of delight and helps with both physical and mental fitness. It is spiritual, dynamic and devotional.
Indian Bollywood Dances are free flowing and boundless, it entertains, bonds and strengthens us at the same time.
