Cassie Norton, I went to see Calashri (Vittal sir’s daughter)...

I went to see Calashri (Vittal sir’s daughter) dance on December 3rd. I still don’t understand this dance. I think most of the gestures are codified, and have specific meanings. Despite lack of understanding it was very beautiful to look at. Added to the entertainment was a dog wandering amongst the dancers during the performance. No one was really too concerned with his presence on stage except for me, David, and some children who found it pretty funny. Calashri is the dancer in purple.
