Dance An Art! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
Dance An Art!
Dance is an art so beautifully played
Where the artist speaks silently through
All emotions of anger, pain, hatred and love.
Every rhythmic movements of her body
Flows along with the music.
It's the musical movements of the body
Where one touches the heart and soul.
Each rhythmic steps carries a deep and beautiful meaning.
Each Movements are like the sweet breeze flowing In rhythms
Each steps are like as if mingling with drizzling rains.
Shiva's cosmic dance, tandava
Kali's dance of creation and destruction
Krishna popular Rasa Lila, a romantic dance with gopikas
Indian Classical dance gave a touch of drama, music and story telling.
Hand gestures in Bharat Natyam
Kathakali for dancers elaborate costume.
Kathak and Sattriya took the form of ritual dance
Kuchipudi accompanied with Carnatic music
Odissi take its form of various postures seen in Indian Sculptures
Folk dances are the group dance, Bhangra, Garbha, chholiya and many.
Dance has no boundaries
Flowing along with many tributaries
It's like the vast ocean
Where each forms are its precious gems
Each rivulets are its rhythmic movements.
Each waves are its beautiful movements.
Sweet fragrance are its emotions
Drizzling rains are its bountiful movements.
Thundering and lightening are its music
Humming bees, chirping birds are its music of love.
Tide, storms are its music of pain and anger.
Each sun rays are its powerful moments.
Each sweet breeze are its musical movements.
Dance is the Gestures, Music, Emotions and Rhythmic bodily moments.

Shiva, Krishna and Kali are the name of Indian deities!
Gopikas- cow-herd girls.
