Synopsis
Synopsis

Yuva presents a performance showcasing the beauty of classical Indian dance, themed around movement as rhythm in poetry. The performance begins with a dance set to the jugalbandi (duet) song Laya Kavithai, composed by Karaikudi Mani and T. A. Kaliyamurthy, which shows how beats support music. This song will also help to bring contrast between the dancers’ adavus (basic steps that exemplify pure dancing) and rasas. 
 
 
The next performance is a Mysore Jathi, where the dancers express how one can perform the jathis (beats) with different emotions, known as navarasas in Bharatanatyam. Out of the nine navarasas, Yuva has chosen four predominant emotions of daily life—love, anger, shantham (peace) and veeram (courage).
