keep the song in your troath
bring out the meaning
Your glance should be full of expression
While your feet maintain the rhythm
Where the hand goes, there the eyes should follow
Where the eyes are, the mind should follow
Where the mind is, there the expression should be brought out
Where the expression is, there the flavor will be experienced (by the audience).

Lately i miss dancing on the kathak, odisee style, Not fancy, bollywood or Salsa. Just the old style. I just loved the rythms. Hmm shayed i should start again. If i just read the qoute above.. And i sigh, I loved to express myself in dance. Strange to say it but dance comfort me when i was sad, when i was happy. It was full of passion. Even if there were rules you had to follow. Oefff.. me have to dance....
