Bharatanatyam is a classical dance form originating from South India. It can be summarised as BHA for Bhava or expressions, RA for Raga or melody and TA for Tala or rhythm. The word NATYA is Sanskrit for the art of sacred dance and drama. Bharatanatyam can therefore be defined as a pure dance form of expressions, melody and rhythm. It also involves a complex yet beautiful amalgamation of foot and hand work with body movements to give a dancer her persona to perform classical dance.
