Bharathanatyam
Bharatanatyam, one of the oldest classical dance forms of India, originates from Tamil Nadu and has been practiced for over 2,000 years. Bharatanatyam combines elements of "Bhava" (expression), "Raga" (melody), "Tala" (rhythm), and "Natya" (dramatic art), reflecting its comprehensive nature. The dance form includes Nritta (pure dance), Nritya (expressive dance), and Natya (drama), making it a perfect blend of aesthetics and storytelling.
