Narakasuravadham Kathakali dance drama of Kerala
Kathakali is form of dance drama. It has its origins in Kerala. It is estimated to be about 400 years old. Traditionally this form is danced by men only. Even the female characters in the dance drama are played by men. This dance form is know for its elaborate makeup and costume. The dancers convey the story through detailed hand gestures , facial expression and eye movements. When i watched my first Kathakali performance i was so mesmerised by the way the performers truly became the characters they were playing. It often confused by people with Kathak, a classical dance form which originates from northen India. However these two dance form are distinctively different from each other.

Legong Dance & Ramayana in Ubud, Bali
This is the traditional form of Balinese dance ballet. The stories are from Ramayana. I have had the fortune seeing these dancers live. I noticed that their style is very closer to Manipuri, Kathakali and Bharatnatyam. The postures of the dancers is very close to Tri-bhangi , as seen in Odissi. It is fun to see a little glimpses of our classical dance and culture so far away from home. These dancer are so very graceful and beautiful to watch. It really strikes you how far the Indian culture of dance and music has its influences. That my view whats yours?
