Whether we are bowing down to the fierce, third eyed, snake garland wearer Shiva or fussing with the ever playful, teasing, and mesmerizing Krishna, or whether the forlorn nayika (heroine) is remembering her lover or whether the Sufi is drunk with ecstasy, the dancer needs to be soaked in that energy to relay the deeper message through her dance.
Until aspiring students of dance themselves get a deeper understanding of this art form, its origins and the spirit from which it was taught and danced before, they will not be able to get the full depth and benefit of performing such an art form and will not be able to capture their audiences if they are ever to become performers. It is Astha's effort in her Kathak workshops to be able to provide some of this exposure for beginning students and intermediate already learning.
