Sacred Dance Devadasi

also .... Peacock Indian dance, dance of theMughal courtesan, geisha dances, Balinesedances, folk dances of rajasthan, gypsyflamenco!

The sacred dance of DEVADASI (sacred dancers of Hindu temples) becomes a sort ofprayer in movement, depicting the game gods and their interaction with the humanworld, expressing at the same time the nine basic feelings of the soul. The intent ofits language is symbolic one of moving in different moods making the viewer asparticipant as the interpreter. Music, poetry, color and rhythm whose message isdirected according to senses, are especially directed by the inner soul of the dancer.

The rotary movement invokes the same movement of the universe, in which everythingrevolves: atoms, the Earth, the planets around the Sun, the thought itself. Sufi dancerepresents the spiritual ascent of man towards God, in which the personality dissolvesand returns to Earth. Movement and rhythm, as the dances or the recitation ofrepetitive formulas (mantra) facilitate an altered state of consciousness. The mindcalms down and at the same time you go out from space and time.
