SEVAI Shanthi Matric. Higher Secondary School perform Bharathanatiyam |
SEVAI Shanthi
Matriculation Higher
Secondary School situated in Pettavaithalai in Trichirapalli District promotes Bharata
Natyam, a
classical Dance form that is popular and nurtured in Tamilnadu as one of the
school cultural teams events. The Bharthanatiyam instructor enlightens the
students and taught of SEVAI
School, “Bharatanatyam is
a reworked dance-form from the traditional "sadir" known for its
grace, purity, tenderness, and sculptures poses. Today, it is one of the most
popular and widely performed dance styles and is practiced Rukmani Devi
Arundale was also instrumental in modifying Bharatnatyam and bringing it to the
attention of the West. E .Krishna Iyer said about Rukmini Devi, “There is no need
to say that before she entered the field, the art was dead and gone or that it
saw a renaissance only when she started to dance or that she created anything
new that was not there before”. The dance, at that time, was exclusively
performed by women It is worth noticing that most of the contemporary
Bharatnatyam dancers do not satisfy the criteria for a professional danseuses
stated in the scriptures. At present, Bharatnatyam recitals are usually not
performed inside the temple shrine but outside it, and even outside the temple
compounds at various festivals. Most contemporary performances are given on the
stage with a live ensemble. In popular culture, the adapted, or
"semi-classical", Bharatnatyam has been exposed largely. A
professional Bharatanatyam dancer must demonstrate a number of qualities, the
true dance is connected to the beauty of the body, and therefore any other
dance is simply a parody. A professional danseuse must possess the youthful,
slender, beautiful, with large eyes, self-confident, witty, pleasing, well
aware of when to dance and when to stop, able to follow the flow of songs and
music, and to dance to the time (thalam), with splendid costumes, and of a
happy disposition. As Natya Shastra states the qualities required of a female
dancer narthaki, "Women who have beautiful limbs, are clever, courteous in
behaviour, always bold, free from indolence, inured to hard work, skilled in
dancing and songs, who excel by their beauty, youthfulness, brilliance and
other qualities all other women standing by, are known as dancer of
Bharathanatiyam” The six students of SEVAI
Shanthi Matriculation Higher Secondary School of the Bharathanatiyam
team performs exemplarity performances on School Anniversary and days of
important occasions -Govin
