JUDGING THE DANCER IN A DANCE COMPETITION.

JUDGING THE DANCER IN DANCE COMPETITION.

Fabulous Feet.Rhythm,Expression, Movement, Swiftness, Charming looks.

For centuries our dancing schools have provided

a home for some of the finest dancers in Bharat Natyam

Kathak, Odissy  schools of performing arts.

Originally, the purpose was as offering prayers to Gods in temples.

Thereafter purpose of the dance was to entertain the royal court.

Thereafter dancing schools were formed and concerts were

held where any public could visit by having a ticket.

There is delight in seeing a dancer with fabulous feet.

Bharat Natyam, Odissi, Kathak Kuchipudi Manipuri dancers,

Ballerina, Geisha have to possess fabulous feet for performing arts.

To be a dance critic one has to develop a sense of skill for judging

the dancer’s performance. The more you watch, the more you learn.

Song, instruments and dance constitute the theme.  The viewer watches

her technique of dancing, skill and rhythm of her feet..

After we see several performances by different artists, we develop

an yard stick to assess the performance of a dancer.  You have to see her

performance and not her.  Her beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
