If you are a fan of Indian dance, please come and talk

Indian dance is soft, lyrical, with beautiful and smooth movements, distinct rhythms, and great charm.

India has a long history of dance, and just like religion, there are various myths and legends about the birth of dance, and they are becoming more and more mysterious. However, it is more credible to say that Indian dances originated from the worship of gods in ancient times. In order to please the gods, there were various rituals, and over time, the rituals were gradually formalized, and dances were derived from daily life.

In India, whether in temples or craft shops, a very common idol is the god of dance. He is the great god Shiva in Hinduism and holds a supreme place in the history of Indian dance. To this day, whenever there is a dance performance, the dancing idol of Shiva is often offered in front of the stage.

This dancing statue of Lord Shiva is not only exquisitely crafted, but also has a profound meaning. The idol is in a standing position and is dancing. The upper right hand holds a drum, symbolizing the creation of various sounds; The lower right hand symbolizes protection and blessings; The upper left hand holds up the burning fire, symbolizing the ability to destroy everything; The lower left hand hangs down diagonally, opposite the raised left foot, symbolizing freedom; A devil is stepped on the right foot, symbolizing the victory of good over evil; The left foot is raised, symbolizing the otherworldly and rising endlessly; The surrounding decoration symbolizes the natural world that nurtures human beings.

Such a statue of the god of dance is not only beautiful and moving, but also fully reflects the rich connotation of Indian dance.

The most obvious feature of Indian dance is the abundance of body language, especially sign language. It is said that dancers can perform 28 poses with one hand and 24 with both hands. Add to that the combination of the head, neck, arms, legs, and feet, and the postures are innumerable.

This ever-changing posture can represent people's seven emotions and six desires, various actions, and even natural scenery such as heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, and natural phenomena such as day and night. In short, everything in the world can be revealed in dance moves.

Indian dance also focuses on the unity of hands, eyes, heart and mind. To put it simply, gestures, eyes, inner thoughts, facial expressions, and movements of other parts of the body should be organically combined to fully express the artistic conception that the dancer wants to express. Indian dance generally requires the body language to embody the eight types of "las", which means "taste".

The 8 types of raths are: Slengar (love), Hashee (witty), Grulen (mercy), Lauder Fury Will (hero), Payanag (terror), Wipaz (contempt), Adpud (astonishing), and Shande (serenity). Of course, these 8 types of rass also contain a variety of variations, such as:

Love includes the love of parents, brother and sister, and lovers. For a dancer to perfectly embody all kinds of las, it takes a lot of hard training.

<>1. Indian culture is closely related to singing and dancing Let's talk about culture first, India is a country that loves dancing very much. Some people once thought that India is the most dancing country in the world, and the most famous belly dance in the world is the best dance in India, and belly dancing also originated in India. And Indians have the most explored control over their bodies.

Yoga also came out of India, Indians connect dance or yoga with the soul, thinking that this is the most important way to express their hearts, so India loves to dance up and down, usually after eating, just dance, this level of love, only Chinese square dance can fight.

Indians love to dance and consider it to be a very elegant and high-class entertainment, unlike China, where the mainstream dance is square dancing, which is often considered the preserve of the elderly.

2. Religion: Dancing can communicate with God.

Indians believe that the dance was created by their great god Shiva. Shiva uses dance to exert its powers. You can also communicate with God through dancing.

This is one of the main reasons why dance has become a mainstream cultural element in India. It's like choirs in the West. Some of our ethnic minorities in China will also have such examples of dancing and communicating with God.

3. Indian cinema begins with singing and dancing.

The history of cinema in India is very early. It is also deeply influenced by the West. One of the origins of Western films, or one of the themes, is the revue, because moving the revue to the screen is a natural transition.

This is also the case in China, and I remember that the first Chinese film seemed to be made about Peking Opera. However, because there is not much innovation in the form of expression, Peking Opera has not continued this mainstream culture under the new media.

India's first sound film was a musical and dance drama, and it was a huge success as soon as it came out. This is equivalent to establishing a habit, if there is dancing in the movie, it will definitely be a big hit, and human beings like to copy their own successful experience.

There are also commercial factors, such as the public's excessive expectations for the length of the film. We know that a movie is about 90 minutes long and no more than two hours long, but in India, it has formed a strange duration effect, and everyone thinks that no three-hour movie is to fool the people, and it is a lack of two pounds.
