Dance

DISCLAIMER: Only for Indian classical music/dance lovers . All rock, salsa, hip-hop, ballroom and break-dance lovers, pls. run away as fast as you can!

PAGE IN BRIEF: Are you a lover of Indian classical dance (or dance music)? (Or a dancer/choreographer looking for ideas for a performance?) If so, this may be a page for you. This page is dedicated to all the time I’ve spent searching for semi-classical dances/songs that could be used for (my/my groups) stage performances. From memories of dances seen in movies as a child, to songs heard by accident – some of these have graced my memory cells, and thankfully to a God-sent site called YouTube, I’m able to find these dances (or songs) without some deft searching skills. And so, I thought I’d reduce that trouble and create a list of suggestions here, just incase someone really cares to check .

Even if you aren’t a dancer or a choreographer, but just have pure admiration for Indian classical dances/dance songs that feature in Indian movies – then you’ll probably enjoy this. (And yes, remember to click the youtube control to play )

P.S. I could have decided to create a youtube channel – but I’m still a blog person so doing this the “old” way.
