In India, dance has been used both as a vehicle of worship and as
an expression of profound emotions, a human being's most subtle states
of mind. The Indian dance system is the oldest and most comprehensive in the world. The world's earliest evidence of dance is a bronze figurine of a dancing girl discovered in the 4,000-year old ruin in Mohenjodaro.
Bharatanatyam is amongst the oldest of the classical dance forms of India, with a history that goes back more than two thousand years. Integrating elements of music, theater, poetry, sculpture, and literature.
This multi-dimentional art has come down through the centuries, as part of a dynamic, vital living tradition, that offers infinite scope for unerstanding and exploring the body, mind and spirit.
In the symbolism of Bharatanatyam is hidden a deep understanding of how our Universe works. From the tiny atom to inconveivably immense intergalactic spaces. The dance is not just a beautiful symbol, but a reality taking place within each of us this very moment. When we behold Dance, the world is seen as it truly is, sacred.
