NATYA Dance Theatre

The NATYA Dance Theatre is dedicated to to perform different dance expositions based on Bharata Natyam, which is a classical dance style from South India that combines Technic and Energy. The Bharata Natyam has three diverse types of Technics: Nritta, Nritya and Natya which is the one the dancer showed us today.

I saw all of her different expressions and the way she moved her body and her hands and I think that is hard to understand most of her movements meanings but it's such an interesting dance. I like to learn from other cultures, and i have not seen India's dance like this never.

What questions and values did the dance performance convey?

This dance performance conveyed a lot of traditions and historical characteristics. The Technic she used to perform her dance were very simple and attractive.

Was it anything you expected? Why or why not?

I never thought about India dance before, and this show opened my eyes to a new world. The way she used her face expression and her hands movements to explain a specific aspect of the nature around her.

I liked this show and I hope that Shenandoah open the doors more often to more countries to show us artistic and cultural traditions.
