The mesmerizing and graceful dance of India carries a deep hidden meaning. In the language of dance movements, the women and men of India express things that sometimes do not need to be spoken in words.
Instructions
Step 1
Practice Angika Abhinay - expressing thoughts through different parts of the body. To do this, move your hips. Left and right, up and down, as well as drawing eights and rotating the hips in a circle. In all dance figures in India, rotational movements of the hips are important, which, over time, are able to bring the figure into a stunning form. At the same time, the waist will decrease, the ribs will become noticeable, and the hips themselves will acquire a seductive shape.
Dance with your chest. Try to stretch your chest first forward so that the rest of the body stays in place, then back, then left and right. Now circle your chest to the right and then to the left. Are you doing it? Excellent!
Move your neck. Leaving your shoulders still, move your chin to the left, then right, back, and then forward. Perform circular movements with your neck or movements to the sides.
Rotate your wrists. What Indian dance can do without graceful hand movements! Train your wrists by rotating them alternately left and right. Try different movements with one hand, and then with both hands in sync. From such constant training, your hands will acquire graceful outlines, excess subcutaneous tissue will evaporate, and you will look even better!
Step 2

Eye movements should be in time with the music. You have to master this amazing dance with your eyes. Facial expressions and gestures form the basis of Sattvia Abhinaya.
