Bharathanatyam

I have been learning bharathanatyam for 4 years. Bharathanatyam is a dance from Tamil Nadu, the southern part of India. Bharathanatyam has been a wonderful experience for me, and I love the special clothes, jewelry and the wonderful dance we perform on the stage during annual day. <------ That is a picture of me!

Bharathanatyam:

Bha- Bhavam (expression)
Ra- Ragam  (tune)
Tha- Thalam (rhythm)
Natyam- Dance

Photos

I was on my way home from school and I looked up to see the beautiful clouds and I decided to take some pictures of them.

I was on my way home and I saw the trees with the Carolina blue sky in the background. I took multiple pictures, some in focus, and some blurry, and this is the one I liked most.
