Spirituality of Dance

So beautifully expressed by great dancers .. 

After you have danced for many years, dance becomes a religion for you. It becomes something that is a part of you. It becomes a limb of your body and something which takes you to another world which otherwise you wouldn't be able to reach. You reach out ...if you believe in god it reaches out to god. If you believe in beauty it reaches out to beauty ..If you believe in your self, it makes you understand yourself better.
-- Dr Kumudini Lakhia a pioneer in Indian Kathak dance


This Divine art is a boon for it shapes the body into graceful controlled beauty, the mind into alertness and sensitivity and the emotions into controlled and purified receptors for the deepest inner longings of humankind.
    - On Bharatanatyam by Bhavanani's, Yoganjali Natyalayam, Pondicherry. 

Whosoever knoweth the power of the dance, dwelleth in God. - Rumi
