One of my classmates had a dance performance in kathak yesterday evening. So me and my other classmates decided to go and watch it. Well, I actually didn’t wanna go, coz I get really bored of all this classical dances. I mean, to really enjoy something like this, I have to know something about the dance, and something about the steps, and whatnot. I really cannot appreciate it. For me a dance would be nice, if it looks nice. I can’t tell if the steps are being done correctly, or if the facial expressions are correct. All this makes no sense to me. But I went anyway, just because my other classmates wanted me to come with them.
So we watched the dance, and it looked good. It was a solo performance, and she danced for around 45 minutes continuously, with maybe a break of 5 minutes. Don’t know how she could manage it. Wow, that takes a lot of stamina. I was totally amazed. I mean, I am the kind of person who gets tired after climbing up stairs of three floors, and she dances for 45 minutes!! Hmmm, I could not see all the facial expressions and all, coz we were sitting behind. So we could not really see that properly.
Till yesterday I had never seen any sort of classical dance live. This was a first for me. It keeps coming on TV, and my parents watch it, but I never had any inclination to watch it. I don’t like classical music either.
Once, when I was maybe 10 years old, I went with my uncle to a classical music concert. And it was so boring, that I almost slept. And I didn’t want to sleep. So I did everything I could to keep my eyes open. The problem was that the music was so boring, and it was pulled to almost 3 hours! I don’t remember why I agreed to go there in the first place, coz I never liked any classical stuff. I still don’t. And that day I had decided not to go to any sort of classical stuff.
Oh well, I don’t think I will be going to any more concerts or any dance thing. I’m done with it. Well, unless someone I know is performing.

The best way to ask those performers to end their presentation is to start clapping, they will get the message.

Classical Dance i have no clue abt it, for that matter i do not know how to dance.
When there was just DD1, they had a show called "Spirit of Unity Concert for National Integration" on Sunday mornings. I hated it so much.
I dont care much abt classical dance but I like few forms of classical music.
In case you dont want to wait for the show to get over, you could always excuse yourslef and go out of the hall.

i watched a kathak performance .. i loved it.. other classical dances are a snooze but kathak is a very invigorating dance form.. its more abt the foot movement than the facial expressions
classical music never heard any!
[killer]
or maybe u dont.
[akanksha]
if i have to choose between any form of classsical, i'd prefer bharatnatyam. its got everything in it. thats y.
dont listen to classical music, unless u wanna sleep. but then, if u wanna sleep and u listen to that music, u may get irritated, and not sleep at all.
Jaane kyun log dance karte hain,
Jaane kyun woh kuud kuud kar time barbaad karte hain?
Jaane kyun, jaane kyun?
