Dance in the West is much more physical and much easier than Indian classical dances...esply indian tradition of dance uses the technique of conveying without words different kinds of feelings and emotions, It takes years of hard work and dedication for just those few minutes of beauty and grace...😊

That's not true. I am not sure what you meant by physical, western dances are very graceful.. Western dances may seem easy, but those also require a lot of effort. What you see on reality shows isn't proper western dance .. its 2 mins of a lot of lifts and props.

Physical I mean the movements are more bold & extroverted to capture the audience's attention...our classical dance expresses feelings, emotions and tells stories through expressions, poise, actions and body language. ..and free ideas and expression are not contained in the Indian classical forms.😊 ...

True, I wonder if Indian dances might be the only ones that have so many mudras, adavus and navarasams. But both Indian and western dances require years of hard work and dedication .. that is if you want to master it .. you could learn an Indian classical dance or a western dance in a few days, like they do in JDJ even if you have never learned it before .. of course you have to have some aptitude for dancing.
