#natyamnaatak – Dancers’ Secret Language
#natyamnaatak from Mahati Rayadurgam @mahati.raya and Dhriti Rayadurgam
Dancers have a secret language—
We were in the car after class on a Sunday, writing notes for the dance we were learning. Our parents overheard the discussion of our notes and writing down the steps.
Parents’ expectation of us writing notes: jump, that thai tha ha, bramari, that dhit tham, etc….
Reality of us writing notes:
M: Yes, so it’s kick while turning your hand from alapadma to fancy katakamukha…
D: Okay, and then we break it open with scissors…
M: And then, jump-tha dhit tha three times, so put it in parentheses and multiply by three…
Parents (attempting to understand the secret language): 😂 🤔 😳 🤪
