Well .. the little girl was to perform something she learnt of a dance form from South India, Bharatnatyam. She was bit nervous and bit apprehensive as it was her first in front of all. I was quite amazed to see the way she danced. Her expressions were something which left a lasting impression.

To say about the dance form , Bharatnatyam Dance is considered to be over 2000 years old originating from Southern State of India, Tamil Nadu. Some more info we can get by clicking on the wiki link Bharatnatyam Dance

I ❤ it! The most interesting is that this dance is performed with knees bent and 108 major motion transition, Karanas, Hastas, Adavus, Bhedas eye movements. Is a very beautiful dance. She is a beautiful Devadasi!!! ♪♯♬ ✿◕‿◕✿ Nanci22 · 2012-08-28: 16:16
