DESCRIPTION OF DANCE

• The Abhinaya Darpan (a descriptive primmer for
  dancers) mentions that the dancer should sing the
  song by the throat, express the meaning of the
  song through hand gestures, show the state of
  feelings in the song by eyes, and express the
  rhythm with his or her feet.
• From the Natya Shastra, a text on the arts, this
  beautiful quotation and translation is often
  quoted by Indian classical dance instructors
• "Yato hastastato drishtihi"..."Where the hand is,
  the eyes follow"
• "Yato drishtistato manaha"..."Where the eyes go,
  the mind follows"
• "Yato manastato bhavaha"..."Where the mind is,
  there is the feeling"
• "Yato bhavastato rasaha"..."Where there is
  feeling, there is mood/flavour, sweetness (i.e.,
  appreciation of art aesthetic bliss)"
• So vast are the subtleties expressed in the hand
  gestures of hasta that the vastness of what being
  human entails, and perhaps even what the entire
  universe contains, might be expressed by the
  dancer.
