Bharatanatyam Grade 3 Theory Notes Info

Bharatanatyam has its roots in the ancient temples of Tamil Nadu, where it was performed as a devotional dance by the Devadasis, a group of women dedicated to the service of the gods. The dance form was initially known as "Dasi Attam" or "Temple Dance". Over time, it evolved into a highly technical and expressive dance form, influenced by the Hindu epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
