Over fifteen hundred years ago, the renound Sanskrit poet Kalidasa wrote,
“Sages agree-classical dance is a form of energy descended from the divine, ritually returned as a gift for the eyes. Inspired by Shiva and his consort Parvati, its triple aspect-music, physical expression and words-constitute a total art with universal appeal.”
