Need for Indian Classical Dance Based Reality Shows
by Rahul
Dance is one way of expressing oneself. This is why, Indian dances have so many mudras. India has a rich tradition of classical and folk dances. Unlike any western dance form, Indian dances take inspiration from the nature, hence, are so full of life.
However, Indian dance forms are slowly becoming obscure because the youth seems to be fascinated by various western dance forms. For this reason, today, many Indian television channels broadcast reality T.V. shows based on western dances.
Although such reality shows are extremely popular these days, the dance as shown on T.V. seems to be a mix of gymnastics and P.T. exercises. Technically, they are neither. Moreover, while attempting to ape the West, the performers fail to deliver the actual essence of these dance forms. Therefore, it is never quite up to par.
It’s high time Indian dances were brought under the spotlight once again. For this, there is a need for reality shows exclusively based on Indian dances. Since, the popularity and viewership of reality shows are high, Indian dances will reach a large target audience.
Classical and folk dance represent India’s, cultural legacy. Hence, they must be protected, to revive the national spirit.
