THE HYPNOTIC DANCERS


ANA said: "You do something to me, something that simply mystifies me"
FROM THE LAND OF FAMOUS SPICES- indian cultural dances

Bharata Natyam is considered to be a 'fire dance’ resembling the movements of a dancing flame — the mystic manifestation of the metaphysical element of fire in the human body. It is one of the five major styles that includes Odissii (water), Mohiniattam (air), Kuchipudi (earth) and Kathakali (sky).
Most ancient sculptures in Hindu temples are based on “dance postures” - depicting celestial dancers, known on earth as Bharata Natyam, a classical dance from the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu
from cooking varieties food art collection
The Odissii ((Orissi) is an Indian classical dance from the Eastern state of Odissa (Orissa).
Odissii is the oldest surviving dance form in India- is characterized by various Bhangas (Stance), which involves stamping of the foot and striking various postures as seen in Indian sculptures.

Maharis were  temple dancers of Orissa. Odissii dance, a  technique of unequal division of weight and firm footwork balancing a fluid upper torso, where the dancer achieves a sensuality that is uncommon in other classical dance styles.
Odissi music has codified grammars and lyrical in its movement, expressing love for the divine. The pace of singing in Odissi is in between, maintaining a very soothing proportional tempo.

    Cooking mood, dancing mood, there is really no difference because they're both design for one common purpose, a good mood.

    That is the true hypnotic state.

    Hi Wan, wow! Really beautiful. Almost similar to those by Balinese dancers.
    Me, I love the Hawaiian hula hula, ha ha.
    Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is not mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.

    Have a nice day wan, and keep a song in your heart.
    Lee.

    Traditional graceful dancing where every finger, hand, neck, eyes, belly movements will relay individual message, plus their music are really fantastic.

    The Makyong dance practiced since 800yrs ago was banned by Kelantan Govt, 20yrs now, due to its animist elements and worshipping, which are deemed contrary to the teachings of Islam!

    @ sagittarian
    @ Jasna
    Many thanks to both of you for visiting and comments. I am so glad Ana Luiza is willing to post this here.
    The unique part, perhaps the most hypnotic of this image is that, at every 1 second pause, you can see the black and white both look the same, in the shape of dancers, no holes/ spaces in between, guess that is what is most hypnotic to watch

    HI Lee, it is true that this looks like Bali dance- sure does because Bali is the hindu culture of the Nusantara

    This image is unique at the "every 1 second pause", you can see the black and white figures both looking the same, in the shape of dancers, no holes/ spaces in between, guess that is what is most hypnotic to watch.

    Hi Katrina, thanks for the sweet comments,I know you like fine arts and things cultured. I always like to see Live cultural shows, at the theaters, be they Malays, hindus, chinese, thai or even Japanese ( especially the kabuki).

    The very graceful and cultured “makyong dance”, which is famous in kelantan, was banned, because there is the element of mantra and spirits worship( the act of being in a trance)which is un-islamic
    and for the fact that the “makyong” were performed by muslim dancers..they burn incense etc. are of spiritual contradictions.
    have a wonderful day

    I'm having coffee and guess what? Today is Quibebe day with meat.
    O dear, thank you very much for this. I'm happy people like this image the way I do.
    Thanks for making me see that I was not hallucinating when said that the dancers looked hypnotic. hehe

    @ only fish recipes-
    how i wish i know your name :)
    wow, what a wonderful surprise, never expect a classical dancer to come over today-
    many thanks for your visit and you are well trained, yeah i envy your dancing ability, cos indian classical dance needs a lot of precise body movements and sync - very soft and flexible

    The odissii dance is also in the film kamasutra.

    I only knew kathak is one of the 8 classicals, originated from Uttar Pradesh, a story telling kind of dance with a tempo from slow to fast..
    have a wonderful day

    I was amazed. It came true As I thought about your new post. Good to hear that you are in spirits mood. :) Nice of the dancing pic. In ancient times when there was no India and Pakistan that whole area was called Sindh and that dance was common in those times. Today I am also in a good mood you will see a new post soon.
