Dance is based on
knowledge of the human body and psyche, trust in the joy of movement and
in expressive arts.
We use movement and
dance experience as a metaphor for life experience as movement is the most
natural expression of life itself. Movement is divine communication with
everything around and inside us.
Dance is an educational,
fun-filled healthy activity that improves the co-ordination of the child,
and promotes quick thinking, discipline and self confidence. There are no
shortcuts to good dancing. It is important from the very beginning to
learn the program basics.
Indian Dance is a study in
Indian modes of living. Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Oddisi, Manipuri, Kathakkali
and the folk dances give us a glimpse of our vibrant colourful heritage.
It is a study of nature, of a world view and a philosophy of the destiny
of mankind. It is a study of the techniques of expression that are
symbolic designs derived from this philosophy. It is a study of the norms
of beauty evolved by a culture to sensitize and sublimate the senses.
Students at NMS also
undergo a carefully graded and well-defined schedule of
Dance Forms ranging form specialised hand and foot movements,
facial expressions to full sequels of artistic performance in
the classical arena.
