A Dance the Gods Yearn to Witness
The Bharata Natyam has been performed since ancient times in southern India, appearing in the courts and temples, with origins in texts dating back 2,000 years. As part of the daily devotional ritual, this dance was an offering to the gods. In A Dance the Gods Yearn to Witness, viewers will have an opportunity to watch a student learn movements from Priyamvada Sankar, a renowned Indian dance instructor. The solo dance requires grace and rhythm, involves facial expressions, and due to its difficulty, takes years of training to master.
