"This very special day is dedicated to the one language
that everybody in
this world can speak, the inherent language of our bodies
and our souls, of
our ancestors and of our children.
that everybody in
this world can speak, the inherent language of our bodies
and our souls, of
our ancestors and of our children.
This day is dedicated to every god, guru and grandparent
that ever taught and
inspired us,
To every song and impulse and moment that's ever moved us
to move.
It is dedicated to the little child that wishes it could
move like its star,
And to the mother who says, 'you already can'.
This day is dedicated to every body of every creed, colour
and culture that
carries the traditions of its past into stories of the
present and dreams of
the future.
This day is dedicated to Dance, to its myriad dialects and
its immense power
to express, transform, unite and delight.".
Biography
message 2009 International Dance Day WDA
Kathak
"is the classical dance form of Northern India and Pakistan. Originating from the Kathaks, the people who used to give religious instruction in narrative form, it is concerned with human stories. Contrary to classical ballet, it is about imperfection, where the dancer creates something spontaneously."
