Is one of my favorite art-forms. It never fails to fascinate me, it gives this unique feeling of being free. I myself haven't taken any dance classes except for a few casual tango/jive classes that Vinay and I took long ago. Thanks to my friend Bindu who is an amazing Bharatanatyam dancer, because of her I think I am involved in dance more than I thought I would have :) I admire their eye movements, their grace and I start to think that I can feel what they feel, some of them consider it so divine and I can sense that from their performance. And I seem to have this special attraction towards Kathak when it comes to the steps and costume. I just love it when their skirts flare out beautifully during the spins and I can only think of that when I imagine a painting to depict the feel of a dance! It's almost like the ultimate depiction of freedom :)
Here are two small abstracts I made to start with, in the memory of the immense pleasure dance has given me. I dedicate them to Bindu :) I am sure I can't stop at these, I think I will be studying more and working more on the theme dance!

Rashmi, thank you so much :) I am so glad you liked the first one! I worked on it after working on the second one (posted it the other way ) and it's my favorite also among the two.
Bindu, man you deserve it and more! Remember the day you were dancing on the stage even when you had a cut on your heels and it was bleeding! :) Oh and I forgot to mention in the post that you were doing Kathak too for a while :) You introduced me to this whole dance thing pa :)
I dunno what i did, but if u have been inspired into this lovely art, then I am indeed very happy, and its the most rewarding compliment a dancer can get :) thanks ashu :)
