Classical Dance

American University

All classical dances are essentially a prayer to God. This eternal art has originated from none other than the dancing God, Shiva. There is no doubt that Indian Classical Dances are so deeply ingrained with divine values that they truly represent a form of sadhana, a path to attain God. The yoga and classical dance traditions of India have been inextricably intertwined for millennia. The exacting hand gestures, postures, and movements of Indian classical dance can only be achieved through yogic concentration. Conversely, the aesthetics, symmetry, and dynamism of dance enhance the practice of yoga.
