Dear Terence, I rarely comment on anybody's video on RUclips but knowing that its my responsibility to protect the Indian Classical art I am writing this to you below this video. This video is the most ridiculous thing on internet on Indian Classical. I had told you a couple of years back to please delete it. The mudras are all wrong and you don't know what Shringar Rasa is. So please stop it and be wise enough to delete it. I received this video link in a Kathak group and it has angered classical dancers teachers Even a first year student of kathak and Bharatnatyam can tell that this is misleading n incorrect... . People have started reporting this video. This is for your own good. You have worked hard to be wherever you are today why you want to become a laughing stock. The poor knowledge of dance (theory and practical) is a bad thing for you especially when you sit on a responsible seat and judge others. But if you want to continue to be funny and ridiculous then its your choice. To make is even funnier you have added two girls in the video giving demo. God knows what are they trying to demonstrate. If not for yourself at least for those two girls, please remove it. This video is making the three of you look like clowns... :) Go and learn Kathak or Bharatnatyam, nothing wrong in that after all your first love is dance, right?
no some of the mudras are correct, in bhartnatyam
Yes, this video should be deleted.
Correctly said sir..! Please delete this video and save yourself from drowning..!
@@sanikabiyani1025 All the mudras he mentioned are correct and even the adavu he mentioned technically exists in Bharatanatyam. However, this video in no way can be considered as a basic guide to "Indian Classical Dance" which is so much more than a couple of mudras and one adavu from one classical dance form. The Sringara rasa he mentioned is not just a girl wearing ornaments while holding up a mirror. This is just "A Basic Guide to what Bollywood thinks Indian Classical Dance is"
@@bhuvanaprakash3029 yeahhh, i do agree to that
I feel astounded that how he gathered the confidence and conviction to publish this video. The starting phrase " Common man's guide to Indian classical dance" is itself a misnomer. I am sure he himself knows that he does not have any knowledge of any of the Indian classical neither folk forms. But, he knew, he will get viewership and few "ignorant" dance enthusiast would find it "great", "helpful" to learn "Indian classical dance" . One piece of recommendation to all those people who regret that they did not learn any Indian dance , please choose any one Classical dance form and seek the guidance of a Teacher ( provided he or she has reputation to be genuine) to learn it step by step. These art forms cannot be learnt by a video guide like this. It is foolishness to learn something without knowing its true essence and correctness.
Something is better than nothing.He has done a good job in a single video.
@@anutapabhattacharya7541 alpabidya bhoyonkari bole ekta katha achhe janen to. Classical dance in our country is as vast as our country and as deep as our culture. It''s not possible to learn anything like that, you only get some junk idea. There are ample gurus both online and offline, teaching sessions, books everything is available so it is not that nothing is available.
@@simaya1000 Ekta sare char miniter video te er beshi kichhu bola ba bojhano sombhob?Etuku dekhe bideshira keu borojor ektu agrohi hote pare...
@@anutapabhattacharya7541 beshi kom er kotha noy, bhul thik er kotha hochye..
@@simaya1000 More deeper less accessible. Once no one else can have access to anything It may disappear. Despite more people gain confidence to show it, maybe the knowledge will be spread and more people will come to know and admire.
All these years learning Kathak when I could just watch a 4.39 minute video and learn it all! I love shortcuts to fame. Thank you, Terence, for opening my eyes - I feel completely cultured now. Especially after watching Kathak tatkar performed in Bharatantyam ghunguroo. The next step is a magic pill which makes you dance with no training at all.
This reminds me of those funny videos of rural village school teachers teaching incorrect English pronunciations to students. Mr Terence Lewis needs to be given an insight on the number of years, sweat, pain, dedication and sacrifices we classical dancers make to imbibe our craft within our body and soul before we actually go out to perform and teach. This is no where close to the basics of Indian classical dance....Not even 0.5%
Exactly karishma didi being a kathak and bharatnatyam dancer i must say the thing which he presented in front of ppl so confidently is as correct as sunrise from west....if he dont know about classical dance form he must lesrn then...there are a lot of gurus in mumbai...this was a joke presented by Mr. Terence lewis and he will be slammed for sure!!!
Not even 0.000005% mam . He completed teaching the whole Kathak dance form in 3 minutes 🤣🤣🤣
You are talented in your own genre, undoubtedly. I congratulate you for that but please stop misleading people. Being a teacher is a great responsibility. Requesting you to kindly stop posting videos about art forms you do not know. It needs years and years of training, it is not so easy.
Yes I agree
I'm totally agree with you. They are wearing Bharatanatyam shalagai and doing kathak tatkar. This is very bad for our classsical art's dignity.🙏🙏🙏 Please stop it.
Yes ... Steps are of Bharatnatyam and costume is of kathak ...
It looks so awkward ..
If I used to be an western dancer I would ignore it but I am a kathak dancer , and I can't bear any wrong thing with my kathak dance
True
But isn't he just trying to teach???
I know he is a great dancer but when it comes to classical dance forms especially bharatanatyam its just not about steps alone its about discipline and respect. Its been 3 years since i have started learning and it took me nearly 3 days to learn namaskaram properly. Please dont teach people wrong things. It takes life time to learn any art form and there is no short cuts absolutely.
With all due respect, you say Indian Classical Dance. There are 8 of them. And these mudras although are common in most, listing them under the broad umbrella of classical dance is absolutely wrong. Same is with basic adavus, leg movements, etc etc etc. Each dance style has its own literature where technique is concerned.
I am learning Bharatnatyam for 17 years now, but i still cannot say that i can make a guide. It takes many many years of intense and disciplined training.
You are a master at what you do. And i love your work. But i really think this video is guiding people properly. Classical dance is a broad term and such videos will further mislead our audiences, a large part of it have no idea about classical dance anyway.
Pls don't mislead people with half knowledge!🙏
It's not even half!!! Not even half an inch he knows!!
@@supreethahegde513 true that!!!
Yes but kathak dress is not for classical right
I find your dance, especially contemporary mesmerising... I applaud your interest in classical dance, however as a trained dancer who also had the privilege of learning one year of Kathak in Kathak Kendra under a deciple of Pt Birju Maharaj and 2 years training of Odissi under Guru Kalyani Behera, your video is technically flawed and hence misleading, if presented in a different way would not have garnered such negative publicity... 🙏
Having a hard time keeping the traditional art alive.....people like these are ruining everthing.
Please teach what you are good at, there are many many reputable and honoured GURUS in the classical art form.
Please STOP misleading people.
OMG....what is he trying to show??.. I couldn't control my laughter after seeing his Arramandi😂😂😂
I admire your contemporary style sir.. but it's a request don't mess with our classical art forms..🙏🙏
famous personality with no basic knowledge in classical dance. People like him with no knowledge earning crores and the real trained Indian classical artists are living on pennies. Incredible India.
True
True
Very sad to see.that our late gurus worshipped whole life for classical .and spent penniless lives .
@@navjhankar yes, exactly,our gurus struggle alot 😞
Very true. And it is very sad to see this. 😔
A little irresponsible on the part of a wonderful choreographer like you to propound knowledge in an area where you have no expertise. It would be better to invite external teachers specializing in these dance forms as part of your informational videos. For all the viewers interested in learning any form of Indian classical dance, it is best to join a guru or a reputable academy. PS- It takes atleast 10 years to even get a basic grasp over an Indian classical dance. And that is only the beginning of a journey to a life full of hardwork and learning...
Is this how you teach classical dance sir?
Where are the other mudras? As far as I know that there are 28 asamutha hasta mudras.
Kindly teach the correct thing.
Yes and even they are not in correct order.😂😂
@@nidhikhandekar2445 Yes very true. I have literally failed to understand, that why do they have to make such videos on which they do not have any knowledge?
We have our more knowledgeable teachers and we don't need them. 😏
Yes true. With the blessing of our Gurus, we are fortunately going on our right track.
Yes
Next session .. How to be an IITian with 5 minutes without any science knowledge.
🤣🤣
😆😆😆😆😆😆
Hahahahahaha
Looking forward to it... 😂😂😂
Thank you Terence , you are my all time favourite ❤️
Filmy classical dance is my favourite & from childhood I used to do in any function at home my aunt and my mom suported me for that , but that time we were in a small toun & there was no hope for these things but seeing film songs only I kept my dream alive . Now I am 47yrs old my son Sujal doing engineering & now again that dream that junoon raised in me by seeing your online classes . I know it's difficult but I am very thak full to you Terence .
With lots of love & respect Raj ❤️
🙏 ಜೈ ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣ 🙏
hello terence bhaiya i am your big fan and indias best dancer
I am also a kathak dancer and do make RUclips videos. First of all I find it very disrespectful just by looking the title. Nobody can ever learn any basics just by a single video. It needs years and years of practice and knowledge to just learn the basics. And shringer is a gatabhav which has its own rules and regulations forsure it cannot be done the way the video has shown.
Bollywood and it's blunders. Stop insulting yourself and defaming the classical dance forms of India.
Anybody remembers Joey's acting lessons?
🤣🤣
You are so clearly explaining and showing .
Either I have been under wrong guidance since the past 15 years or literally people have started "selling" art in any and every possible way.
Sir, you're a trained dancer with a lot of people idolising you. Please be responsible enough to "TEACH" the right things to them.
🙌
People like this destroy classical dance by spreading half cooked unboiled knowledge taking advantage of their popularity!
Reminds me of Rajpal Yadav in Hulchul movie.
Mere ko sab kuch atta hai .. mai expert hoon 🤪
Respect sir aap bhot acha kam kr rahe hai
You Need to be
WORDL'S NO 1 DANCE MASTER.... ur too gud...stay blessed...love you❤
he's not even sitting in aramandi properly
Half baked knowledge. Wrong pronunciations and such misleading information. You need to learn how to hold mudras properly before your making horrible attempts at misleading the people.
The classical arts were safe from the culture vultures of bollywood. Sadly the downfall is here if such teaching practices gain more popularity.
You are absolutely right. If this is what Bharatanatyam is then I have nothing to say.
Have you noticed his Aramandi posture? I couldn't dare to see the whole video. Trust me
Agree
If you want to know how to destroy classical art forms, learn from Terrance
😂😂😂😂
Please don't spoil the beauty of Indian classical cause you are a good choreographer and if you teach Indian classical in a wrong way non classical dancer will follow it blindly.
please don't spread wrong information
if you don't have any knowledge about this then leave this please don't destroy a classical dance form
Sir u are a famous personalities and lot of young generation follow you.Please do NOT mislead them and reduce such a beautiful and rich dance forms to just bare minimum 4 to 5 mudras...At the same time you are disgracing those who dedicated their life to learn,excel and teach these beautiful dance form.
Agreed
The motive of the video is that a person who dances "Khichdi", jack of all master of None, amateur dancers to see this video and copy all the mudras and use it in some Bollywood choreography. Basically someone who will think classical is quite Easy just a tutorial video of 4 minutes. A classical dancer(Kathak) who learns from basic spend 5 years just to sustain a tatakar(Footwork) in different layas. If takes years. Blood, sweat, tears and years. These Bollywood choreographers just mints money and they don't know the struggle behind a classical art form which requires years of learning, training and struggle.
Agree
It is shameful to teach anything without any knowledge or half baked knowledge and it is utterly disgusting to see that a renowned contemporary dancer is teaching "Indian classical art" forms in just 4:39 minutes and giving statements like "common man's guide to Indian classical dance" and "it's basically done by all the girls and they love doing it.Which is called SRINGER".
As dancers we have to play some characters to portray the story with our dance and there are no such specific things that only girls loves to do. Did you mean all the male dancers should not perform any abhinaya based on SRINGER rasa?
With due respect, it is my humble request to you to not teach your so called "Indian classical dance" with your wrong and half baked knowledge.
He doesn't even know the difference between arala and hamsasya.... and he has the confidence to say the wrong thing! This is not a beginners guide, this is just horrible misinformation.
Can you provide good links to learn classical dance from very basic ?
+Neha Garg please check the kalakriti website for excellent DVDs that teach from basic to advanced dance. hope this helps
seriously i was thinking the same
Agree
horrible aramandi
Hum logo ko classical dance ko badhava dena hoga nai to o dhire dhire lupt ho jayega sir🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great👍
Thank you so much thank you so much
thank you so much sir
Wow!! Is this for real? Sir, you are one among the renowned dancers in this country..there are many people who look upto you.. please be responsible while putting up a video like this about classical dance. It is such an ancient and divine art form..there are treatises about its pedagogy!! It is not something that you can kickstart like this in 5 minutes! There is so much depth to these art forms..it is okay if one doesn't learn it but shouldn't make a mockery out of it like this. Ridiculous!!
Love you sir ❤️
I like it sir... I also learne 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thank you
me gustò,gracias
I don't know classical dance, but your effort and love for classic dance is what I appreciate. Good luck in learning and teaching.
Thank you
Nice
V nice sir and i like you dance
m also a kathak dancer..u need perfection
I love it
U are just incredible all rounder with so much of correct dance knowledge
so beautiful
I so sorry sir I am big fan of your dance but Bharatanatyam and Kathak! I mean Kyo ??? sorry it is so bad .
I am sure you are great in Contemporary dance, but when you don’t know about Indian classical please do not teach. This is absolutely ignorant!
Next video by him is how to get cured from corona virus in 4 and a half minute....sir?
even his hand movements in the step of bharatnatyam is wrong... please he himself should get a training
Shut up
Now, it is a well known fact that people like you who publicly abuse/troll /cuss people without a proper decorum are in the payroll of politicians who just want to spread hatred and negativity
Trying hard but I will , thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge 🙏
HOW TO DESTROY THE INDIAN CLASSICAL ARTS 101
Tq sir hmko need thi basic moves ki
"shikara mudra is very popular in Rajasthani folk dance"
Really 😂😂😂 u should go visit Rajasthan at least once 🤣🤣
Maybe he tried to say when we use to spread both hands while taking circles with dipping and sometimes hold hand like shikhara mudra like Madhuri ji did chane ke khet me 😄😄😄
I also was laughing on that when he said Shikhar mudra is used in Rajasthani dance
Where.....
Kuch bhi Matlab kuch bhi...
It is like he can bok englis he can tak englis.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pls Next episode
Ati sundaram
Sir mai bharatanatya sikana chahata hoon lekhin muje sahise ata nahi lekina shikaneka chahat bahut hai usa chahat ko apake class dekhakar sikaraha hoon thank you so much sir
Good sirji
Hiii Terence
Being a kathak dance teacher & yoga instructor I liked your basic lesson .
Thanx
I am not against people trying to learn Bharatanatyam but teaching is different. In this video we can clearly see your lack of knowledge in Bharatanatyam, please do not teach something that you don't understand and don't know, I am sure you are very talented, if you are interested in learning Bharatanatyam, find a good guru and learn. What you showed on this video is not basic steps at all and it was very badly executed. I am not commenting to hurt you but just humbly requesting you to not share something that is not bharatanatyam saying it is bharatanatyam..
So easy to learn. Thnx
Stop misleading people ..please use your stardom for educating people by hiring educated people who have an in depth knowledge about Bharatnatyam and Kathak.
Its okay to not know everything in a proper way. It's important to part correct knowledge and not mislead.
Horrible Terence!! U please keep yourself till non classical dance style.. Please dont spoil Bharathanatyam.. :) sorry
it's Katakamukha.. and Alapadma.. not katkamukha and alpadma.. The girls apply sindoor from nose to end of their heads.. and kajal on cheeks.. what an awful way of showing expressions..
Priyanka M LOL!!
I agree, its blasphemous
It's pathetic, I really don't know what to tell. Please go and learn. Classical dance can not be learnt seeing videos, it needs Sadhana.. I really don't expect it from a person like you who knows a different art form from the core then how can you mislead Classical dance like this way!!
This is the difference between a youtuber and a dancer.
Thank you 😊
I like dance sir
U don't know the difference between arala and hamasasam
Nice
Tq😃🥰
No...Im Brazilian and love dancing but never would be the chance to learn Indian classical dance without Bollywood, internet or RUclips videos. Thanks for your videos...I have being looking for videos to learn the mudras for a long time...By the way we do same gesture of the mirror in a dance we have here that its influence came from Africa. The big difference here it became more intuitive dance and has changed with time gaining new steps.
Ma'am u will feel bad but its not classical dance
@@prakashkumar6279 why should I feel bad? 🙂 I will tell you what I heard in person from Ariano Suassuna, a Brazilian writer. He said about classic and popular, "What is classic today maybe was popular once". So, in fact what matters is the joy. Same I can tell you about Carlos Heitor Villa Lobos, who became famous in a traditional classic music world by composing classic music inspired by our popular Brazilian culture. Who told you...what is classic and what is popular by definition, can't in fact feel the magic. Have a great day ahead! 🙏
Madam, what he has shown is not the classical dance form of India.
@@LekhaAchuthwhy you all are like that? Whatever he has shown is beautiful. Why don't you come and dance here better than him. Why is so hard for you indians trying to appreciate beauty if it is a bit different of a traditional way? What is the problem with that? I don't see any problem. Put the dance inside a box and keep it forever in the same way...but it has to be forever. How long does forever can last? Thank you very much and have a nice day. I really appreciated the work of the man dancing in the video and whatever he has done is much better than the ones only criticizing. Ignorant people really can't appreciate nor classical nor popular nor different.
@@PLPereira When he calls it a Indian classical dance he needs to be sure of what he is doing. I know he is a very good contemproray dancer. He can not tell that it is a common man's guide to Indian classical dance. We have many wannabe dancers who will listen and see such things and tell that thet are bharatanatya or kathak dancers. Bharatanatya has evolved from so many years. When some one shows something bad and calls it a different name we have to comment and show the ignorance of that person. Please do not generalize Indians. I am also a classical bharatanatya dancer who has been practicing from many years. I know to appreciate the good things. But this is a riduculous attempt to show an "Indian Classical Dance". You may not have a problem with it but I have since he does not even know his mudras. What he shows as "ARAL" is actually "Hamsasya" and his aramandi is atrocious. His generalization of the Shringar rasa is so typical Bollywood.
Don't teach with half baked knowledge. People have spend years and years to master one style and I'm amused that you have covered two distinct classical styles in a 5min RUclips video. Not acceptable sir!
Omg what is this 😠😠😠😠😠😠
Didn't expect this blunder from you sir. I am a huge fan of your dance. But what was this? Bharatanatyam is not something can be expressed in 5min. It takes a lifetime to know a classical form. Please dont mislead the young generation. It's just not expected from you sir.
Tq sir
Not sure about kathak, but it's a kind of misleading about baradha natyam.
Kyu classical dance ka mazak banate ho ...Very disappointing
Tereance Sir m your big fan from Pakistan Kash ap sy apki acdome ma ak sekha sakti but apka ya vedio mil gya khuda ka shukr for this I subscribe your Chanel master Jesus bless you Master
u r my inspiration sir
Your dance is very nice and you look is very nice 😍😍😎
Sir .. I am big fan of u ..with due respect I'm saying pls don't do this to Indian classical dance .U have huge following .pls don't mislead others sir
Classical Dance full hands mudras
I like your western styles sir... But as a Bharatanatyam dancer I would like to suggest you to learn properly.
Who like the dance of him like kare
Sir I want to learn bharatntyam
Aap video bharatntyam par banaye for beginners
Very helpful
Yes sir what you have thought those all crt but where other mudras and where is two hands mudras
Good video
Background music is the sarang lehra of taal teentaal 16 matras
Sir I am an ardent admirer of your art and skills in contemporary and bollywood forms and the way you train up young dancers in this forms are praiseworthy.. also on the other hand, I have been learning and performing Bharatnatyam for the last 19 years and Odissi for the last 2 years so I know the extreme dedication and practice a dancer has to go through to atleast call himself/herself as a classical dancer, forget about teaching...this is not the way how beginners should start to learn any classical dance form (there are 8 classical dances in India)... classical dance follows grammar and it has to be learnt following the grammar...so I would request you to refrain from teaching this way...🙏
Okay so all those who have devoted so many years of their life are fools according to you! Because yes we can learn 'both' kathak and Bharatnatyam in 5 minutes, right?
😍😊😊😄
Brilliant 👌👌👏
