THE BHARATA NATYAM

The  Bhārata Nāṭyam  it is the oldest form of sacred dance theater originating in South India.
The term  Nāṭyam  in Sanskrit it means dance,  Bharata  instead it is an acronym of the three words  Bhāva  (expression),  Guys  (melody),  Tāla  (rhythm).

The style known as  Bhārata Nāṭyam is in fact a perfect synthesis of these three elements.
The dancer, or the dancer, through the movements and expressiveness of her body tells stories of gods and heroes. Life in all its forms is represented through this wonderful form of yoga in motion in which even the eyes dance.
