Press Space! There are 7 main classical dances in India and this is the oldest! Well, I've been putting off this project for the longest time ever... Song: Thaye Yashoda (Sung by Morning Raga) Also you guys have no idea how hard it is getting decent pictures on google images on this stuff :) ~MY STORY~ When I first started dancing, I didn't just hate it. I hated it with a burning passion. I had to be physically dragged to class (lol) Yet, I've literally known about this all my life. (My older sister also did it) When I first started not only did I hate it, I was also awful at it (I still am, but like, much worse at the time) And so, for years, I was kinda forced to dance. Soon my sister finished her Arangetram (see project for definition) and she was really good. This (unfortunately for me) raised the exception for me and well...I still sucked. But apparently, my dance teacher thought our ENTIRE group sucked so she made us re-learn all the basic steps ALL OVER AGAIN (the horror) Now, these steps were all super easy and we all already knew them but learning them wasn't the point. Our dance teacher corrected everything from our posture, our hands etc etc. My dance teacher was super strict and mean...but she is THE BEST story teller and doesn't just teach us about dance. She's also great at life lessons and school and etc etc.(now where was I? Oh right) Point is, she doesn't compliment you like at all. All my years of learning I've never heard anything nice from her other then like "I like your shirt" from her. But one day after class, (about a year ago) she hits me with "You've improved a lot." I was like screaming in my head. I'm actually really quiet in dance class and I'm not the best dancer but that made my day. I guess I kinda started actually trying after that and she doesn't yell at me....much but still. (But I think that's mainly cause she thinks I lack self-confidence which is true because like I said I'm super quiet in class.) ~WHY I SHARED THIS PROJECT~ -I shared this project because I haven't met ANY bharatanatyam dancers on Scratch. D': -This is one part of me that not even my closest friends know (much) about. REMEMBER TO ♥ and fave! so ya that's a wrap!
