Under the direction of Pranita Jain the Kalapriya dancers will present an evening performance of classical Bharata Natyam dances. Bharata Natyam is the ancient Indian dance form that uses stylized hand gestures, theatrical facial expressions, intricate footwork and complicated rhythms and counter rhythms to visualize poetry, mythology and universal themes.  The beautiful dancers clad in ornate costumes, jewelry and makeup move with joy and grace through the thrilling dance moves.
