We recently attended a performance by the Kalaanjali School of Dance. They specialize in the Bharathanatyam-style of Indian dance, which comes from southern India. The performances were so colorful and absolutely full of joy - how delightful to see the pride each of these young girls had for their craft, hard work, and talents. Seeing young girls with this type of confidence was truly heart-warming to watch. We in the audience - an audience comprised of dance lovers of all ages - were held captive by the charismatic charm and skill the young girls displayed. We learned a little bit about what each of the hand positions represents in each dance - serpents, water, deer and more all conveyed with the dancers' hands.
 |
| a beautiful young girl's grace and poise - doesn't she look regal? |
 |
| captivating dances and natural performers |
 |
| one of the younger members holding her own |
 |
| another young dancer deep in concentration |
 |
| perhaps the youngest of all, sweetness radiated from her |
 |
| there was a lightness to all of the movement |
 |
| this dancer playing the role of Lord Krishna, the Hindu flute playing god |
 |
| the grand finale - the thank you dance |
All left the performance with a smile on their face - don't you think that's the ultimate sign of great, happy entertainment?
