All the classical dances are basically a Prayer Of God. This eternal art has come 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 are truly going through a “sadhana”, a way to attain God. The yoga and classical dance traditions of India have been inextricably entwined for millennia. The exacting hand gestures, postures and movements of Indian classical dance can only be achieved through yogic concentration. Conversely, the esthetics, symmetry, and dynamism of dance enhance the practice of yoga.
