I pity those 16 fools who gave thumbs down to this video. But yes this society is made up of thinkers and idiots - inevitable :)
Very well said..'Dance does make you turn inward'. Mesmarized and inspired by her dancing skill and clarity of thoughts.
You help me remember something deep within my consciousness, where my ancient ancestors are awakened. I cant pinpoint it, but its there, breathing deep in my soul: a remembrance. I love the Shiva dances and the Kali.
How well articulated and poised. She did a fantastic job transmitting the message not only with the dance but her words. Thank you for this insightful TED talk.

Why are those people murmuring and talking during her talk
Bharathanatiyam is a name coined recently when the art form was taken over from the Tamil communities dedicated to the temples art activities from ancient times. It was called as Sathirattam and after all the Tamil kingdoms had their downfalls to Telugu and other North Indian powers. The music especially language used in the art form were taken to other languages that were promoted by the rulers. At the same time the art form was pushed into a situation that misconstrued the communities involved in the art form to a caste system used in North Indian kingdoms as “Devadashi”. When all the Tamil language and art forms were demonized by the Sanskritization both lingually and socially - the British period helped the revival of the art form - when Telugu and other Brahminical North Indian powers were brought under the British. Rukmini Devi Arundale is the pioneer in reversing that social discrimination and help raising the current versions of Bharathanatiyam art form.
Such BS about history of evolution of dance and devdasi. Revived? British almost killed the Indian classical dances due to devotion to Hindu gods. Devdasi system was prevalent in south not north. The first confirmed reference to a Devadasi was during the Keshari Dynasty in the 6th century CE in South India.
British missionaries first tried to make temple dancers to stop dancing about Hindu legends and switch to Jesus. When they refused they went on active campaign the ban the dance itself. The whole smear campaign jeopardized many of it's forms and equated the dancers to prostitutes only. Manipuri dance survived just in one temple. Kathak's classical form survived due to one family - Bindadin Maharaj took it upon himself and kept the art going in his family through his sons. That' how the Kathak "gharana" came to be and the dancers from his family were all male. Navab of Lucknow, gave patronage to help it keep going. Caste? This was a brahmin family.
In north Kathak dancers didn't always stay at one place and used to be wandering dancers, going place to place. During Islamic rules court and temple patronage went down. Later Mughal courts took it up but to suit court culture and times, kathak dancer made changes to survive. The emphasis increased more on showmanship and the foot movements( tatkar) and circular movements increased and the theme of the dance was more about Shringar than bhakti to suit the court culture. Though later banaras gharana ( started later by one of the sons from Lucknow gharana) focused on bhakti.
Our dances have faces challenges of colonial rule and survived.
How many can understand English? Can people at rural areas
Understand English. Speak in Hindhi many can understand. Ask Hindhi knowing people to translate
And in short time you will be perfect in Hindhi language.
This talk happened at UCLA in America. So it's in English to cater to that audience.
Lol you expect every Indian to understand Hindi? A little over half the population speaks it to the census!
😂
Unflattering clothes. Poor lighting. Clothes too similar to stage and background. No apology for being dancer needed. No definition of dance needed. Less talk,
and more GOOD dance, please. Get freakin serious. Time is flying.
