Pored toga što sam sa vama htela da podelim svoju ljubav (neki kažu opsesiju, ali bože moj...) prema Indiji i njenoj kulturi, interesuje me drage moje, da li na našim prostorima postoji neko ko se ozbiljnije bavi ovim prelepim i nadasve teškim plesom?
Obožavam sve vezano za Indiju (gospode, zvučim kao tinejdžerka
), a indijski ples je nešto čime sam fascinirana još odavno, ali nažalost nisam imala prilike da naiđem na školu koja se bavi isključivo ovim plesom. U Makrisu smo radili nekoliko lepih Bollywood koreografija, ali mene interesuje i klasičan indijski ples. Postoji 7 osnovnih stilova:Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi, Kuchipudi, Mohiniattam, Manipuri i Kathakali. Ja sam još uvek optimistična da ću uspeti da nađem instruktorku Mohiniattam plesa, jer me taj ples najviše privlači. Pored toga je i spoj Bharatanatyam i Kathakali plesa, tako da se na taj način zapravo uče tri forme plesa.
Nisam izdržala i kopiram samo deo objašnjenja koji se odnosi na Mohiniattam:Mohiniyattam (also spelled as mohiniaattam, mohiniattom or mohiniyattam; Malayalam: മോഹിനിയാട്ടം, Sanskrit: मोहिनी आटम्) is a traditional South Indian dance form from Kerala, India. It is a very graceful dance meant to be performed as a solo recital by women. The term Mohiniattam comes from the words "Mohini" meaning a woman who enchants onlookers and "aattam" meaning graceful and sensuous body movements. The word "Mohiniattam" literally means "dance of the enchantress". There are two stories of the Lord Vishnu disguised as a Mohini. In one, he appears as Mohini to lure the asuras (demons) away from the amrita (nectar of immortality) obtained during the churning of the palazhi or Ocean of Milk. In the second story Vishnu appears as Mohini to save Lord Shiva from the demon Bhasmasura. The name Mohiniaattam may have been coined after Lord Vishnu, and the main theme of the dance is love and devotion to God, with usually Vishnu or Krishna being the hero. Devadasis used to perform this in temples. But it also has elements of Koothu and Kottiyattom in it. it is a drama in dance and verse.
The dance which has influences and elements from two South Indian dance forms, the Bharatanatyam and Kathakali, was formulated in the court of king Swati Tirunal by Vadivelu, one of the Thanjavur Quartet. The dance involves the swaying of broad hips and the gentle movements of erect torso from side to side. This is reminiscent of the swinging of the palm leaves and the gently flowing rivers which abound Kerala, the land of Mohiniattam. There are approximately 40 different basic movements, known as 'atavukal', in Mohiniyattam.

Isto tako, nisam odolela (da li je to uopše moguće?) Bollywood-u i jako ga rado plešem.

Bilo bi divno da ako neka od vas čuje za neku školu ili radionicu klasičnog indijskog plesa ili bollywood plesa, ostavi obaveštenje ovde. Bila bih joj neizmerno zahvalna.
