Bharatanatyam recital

Bharatanatyam is a classical Indian genre of dance that originates from the South of India. Performed all over the world today, it is universally recognized as a dance form that is at once geometric and graceful, light as well as grounded. The pure technique of Bharatanatyam is defined by the highly evolved classical rhythm traditions of South India. Due to its sophisticated narrative vocabulary, Bharatanatyam is also ideally suited to complex story telling. It is this shared tradition of the Indian dance forms as an unparalleled means of communication that places them at the center of the stage art forms of the world.

Kavita Thirumalai is a Bharatanatyam professional based in the Bay Area. Nitya Nritya Foundation is proud to present her work in a 90 minute traditional repertoire.
