As other art forms like music and literature,I love dance too. However, I can't dance. I remember the extempores I gave during family ceremonies and public functions as a kid. Worse,I was appreciated for my dance skill.Kamal Hassan pleased my senses with his dance movements in films as he did to other movie buffs. Kamal is a great exponent of Bharadhanatyam, an ancient dance form meant primarily for women. I would tell my friends,no other male looked good when he performed Bharadanatyam. Meanwhile I could also appreciate other dance forms like western dance. May be that because I keep following various art forms,my idea about dance has evolved. What I couldn't like ten years back,I could enjoy it today. What appeared ordinary those days,looks enchanting to me today. However, the basic idea about dance remains the same. Dance is all about grace. One can be the best dancer technically and perform all the steps in the book,but if his dance lacks grace,then what's the point? I don't like Prabhu Deva, widely considered as the best dancer in Indian cinema, for the simple fact that he has no grace. Same with local boy,Simbhu. What he does is circus,not dance.
