Return of Classical Dance Forms

Hi CPR!

I guess I'm in the minority who enjoys watching western dance forms. I'm not a big fan of Indian classical dance forms although I enjoy watching them occasionally. Perhaps my non Indian connections could be one reason but I really don't know

As for the choreographers, I don't think the current lot can do justice to a pure classical act. since all of their fortes are western forms

That's actually what really saddens me. Pure classical dance forms have been lost because now its all about being westernized. I'm a trained Bharatnatyam dancer. I've taken it for 7 years and maybe that's why I have so much love for classical dance forms. Even my sister learned Kathak from Madhuri's sister. I guess that's why I'm so attached. Its so sad that the dance form has been lost in the crowd. :(

Wow you're trained for 7 years? That's incredible. Do you still dance?

No wonder you're attached to classical forms. I of course don't have an idea about Indian dancing styles as I've witnessed performances only through either DID seasons or few Bollywood songs like Devdas
