 "What is dance to you?" - Tejsree Beharee e-mail: tejsree0505@gmail.com May 10, 2020 What is dance to you? I am often asked! Sometimes it is a prayer Offered daily Where I express my gratitude and I ask for positivity in life At times I dance the nritta (pure dance movements) to be thankful for my physical health At other times I dance the nritya (expressional dance) to be grateful for my emotional well-being And many times I teach this beautiful art, to share its positivity to my surrounding Sometimes it is a science Calculated through physics, biology, and chemistry As I dance, I balance the angles of movements with the lines of symmetry in my body I play with the surge of adrenaline where my will to perform well osmoses the fear of stage Each time forming a covalent relationship between my weakness and strength on the way of improvement Sometimes it is a culture Which has become a way of life From dance, I distill the moral values and traditions of its myths and history Which I connect with the aesthetics of the classical and the folk And bond with the empathy of understanding change and moving to the contemporary What is dance to you?
