BHARATNATYAM IS A VERY GRACEFUL COMBINATION OF HASTA MUDRAS, BHAVA(EXPRESSIONS) AND VARIOUS FOOTWORK. BHARATNATYAM INCLUDES OF GREAT DEPTHS OF NRITYA AND NRITTA
NRITTA- WHEN EXPRESSIONS AND DANCE ARE PERFORMED TOGETHER IT REFERS TO AS NRITTA. IN NRITTA MORE IMPORTANCE IS GIVEN TO HAND GESTURES AND LESS IMPORTANCE IS GIVEN TO THE EXPRESSIONS.
NRITYA-WHEN THE STORY IS DEPICTED THROUGH SENTIMENTS AND EMOTIONS SHOWN WITH THE HELP OF VARIOUS EXPRESSIONS IT IS REFERED TO AS NRITYA. HERE, MORE IMPORTANCE IS GIVEN TO THE EXPRESSIONS.
