Tagore was not a trained dancer, but he could understand its core because of his love for aesthetic beauty and a feel for life.
I read somewhere that during rehearsals, he would not be satisfied till he could convey the correct emotion for the dancers to portray through aesthetic movements.
Though he did not actually dance, he was able to lead dance to a new direction.
He believed that intense feelings could be best expressed through of dance.
Tagore’s dance-dramas capture the intense moments of life – the emotions are universal and eternal.
Rabindra Nritya's primary goal is to make the songs' feelings clear, which explains why the dance moves fit in so well with the songs' rhythm and lyrical brilliance.
The coordination of song and dance gives Rabindra Nritya a wonderful aspect.
Tagore gave his songs a distinctive flavour by creatively incorporating traditional talas and body movements, which also gave his dance-dramas a distinctive quality.
