Bharatanatyam

Bharatanatyam is one of the most popular and widely practised classical dance styles of India, with sculptural evidence dating back nearly 3000 years. A highly spiritual and dedicatory dance form, Bharatanatyam‘s roots go back to the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu, in South India.

The dance moved from temples to theatres over time but has retained its characteristic devotional component, expression of human emotions, and stylized storytelling.
