Confessions Of A Classical Dancer
We, dancers will always perform in stages and functions and it can be just one song to a full 20-30 minutes dance drama. Yes, we do it all. We portray certain characters depends on the song given. I noticed that I have always been getting Amman songs. And you know everyone has their own favourite god and mine happen to be Amman as well. We dancers are blessed to be able to perform this divine art. Trust me, i did not know I will love this art so much that it became a part of me. Bharatham is a classical dance hence our songs are mostly god and traditional songs. I noticed that I prefer to portray the character of a devotee rather than the god itself. Something inside me makes me feel so much better when I be the devotee. Plus dancing is so peaceful, when you dancing describing the god, it is priceless! Only Dancers can understand and feel this.
