This is SO helpful! I am a Zumba Gold instructor and I have a few Indian students. They are so appreciative when I include Bollywood songs and are so patient with my attempts to emulate the movements. Your video not only helps me with proper form, but the explanations and simple names make it all very user-friendly! Bollywood may not come naturally to those of us in Texas, but I can certainly learn and enjoy sharing with my students. Thank you so much!
Wow, I really enjoyed how you explained it. It makes easier to understand and properly use the gestures. Thank you for taking the time to show us how, and I hope you make many more video.
I'm so glad you posted this! I've wanted to know what the gestures meant..... Indian culture is so rich! Thanks! I'm in the US, but am a Bollywood nut. I also listen to a lot of Classical Indian music. I've also seen classical Indian dance performances....divine. I knew the finger and hand movements were telling part of the story, I just didn't know what.
Fantastic video ! I've always wanted to know the names/meanings of these dancing hand gestures & you did so beautifully. Thank you so much :) It's amazing how so many of them developed along the same lines, with similar meanings, in countries or islands that originally had no contact with ea other.
Namaste Nakul!... Black American attempting to speak Hindi words that I've learned so pls bear w/ me: Bahut nice video aur bahut shukryia for the hand gestures aur their collective history... Will subscribe to your video... Oh aur shukryia for the 'simple' names - they are helpful! Namascar!
100% people teaching online dance or music classes are Maharashtrians. I haven’t come across one ☝🏼 non-maharashtrian. Just an observation. 😄😄 I don’t care who’s the teacher, whom I learn from, this was only an observation. I went to 4 classes from Kathak to Vocal music to Piano to Bollywood dance, all were Marathi ppl. They are such art lovers, I tell you. It’s amazing 🤩
Thank you very very much for your clear and useful explanations! I'm preparing a small bollywood dance and feel much reassured of doing the hand gestures appropriately.
Hi! Thanks for the explanation. I'm here because I'm investigating about indian hands gesture in order to including in a tribal fusion combo. I'm not sure if it has a religious meaning. I don't want to disrespect the culture. Could you tell me if I can mix it with other dances?
I have a WEIRD question at times I have caught myself moving my hands almost like water I TOTALLY believe in reincarnation is it possible it was left over from there
They are Indian classical hand gestures, used in Bollywood. Bollywood mixes all dance styles. India has 8 classical dances, the most famous being Bharat-Natyam (India-Dance).
Hinduism (/ˈhɪnduɪzəm/)[1] is variously defined as an Indian religion, a set of religious beliefs or practices, a religious tradition, a way of life, or dharma-a religious and universal order by which followers abide.[note 1][note 2] As a religion it is the world's third-largest, with over 1.2-1.35 billion followers, or 15-16% of the global population, known as Hindus.[2][3][web 1][web 2] The word Hindu is an exonym,[4][5][note 3] and while Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world,[note 4] many practitioners refer to their religion as Sanātana Dharma (Sanskrit: सनातन धर्म, lit. ''the Eternal Dharma''), a modern usage, which refers to the idea that its origins lie beyond human history, as revealed in the Hindu texts.[6][7][8][9][note 5] Another endonym is Vaidika dharma,[10][11][12][13][14] the 'dharma related to the Vedas.'[15] Hinduism is a diverse system of thought marked by a range of philosophies and shared concepts, rituals, cosmological systems, pilgrimage sites, and shared textual sources that discuss theology, metaphysics, mythology, Vedic yajna, yoga, agamic rituals, and temple building, among other topics.[16] Prominent themes in Hindu beliefs include the four Puruṣārthas, the proper goals or aims of human life; namely, dharma (ethics/duties), artha (prosperity/work), kama (desires/passions) and moksha (liberation/freedom from the passions and the cycle of death and rebirth),[17][18] as well as karma (action, intent and consequences) and saṃsāra (cycle of death and rebirth).[19][20] Hinduism prescribes the eternal duties, such as honesty, refraining from injuring living beings (Ahiṃsā), patience, forbearance, self-restraint, virtue, and compassion, among others.[web 3][21] Hindu practices include worship (puja), fire rituals (homa/havan), recitations (pravachan), devotion (bhakti), chanting (japa), meditation (dhyāna), sacrifice (yajña), charity (dāna), selfless service (sevā), homage to one's ancestors (śrāddha), family-oriented rites of passage, annual festivals, and occasional pilgrimages (yatra). Along with the practice of various yogas, some Hindus leave their social world and material possessions and engage in lifelong Sannyasa (monasticism) in order to achieve moksha.[22] Hindu texts are classified into Śruti ("heard") and Smṛti ("remembered"), the major scriptures of which are the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Purānas, the Mahābhārata, the Rāmāyana, and the Āgamas.[19][23] There are six āstika schools of Hindu philosophy, who recognise the authority of the Vedas, namely Sānkhya, Yoga, Nyāya, Vaisheshika, Mimāmsā and Vedānta.[24][25][26] While the Puranic chronology presents a genealogy of thousands of years, starting with the Vedic rishis, scholars regard Hinduism as a fusion[note 6] or synthesis[27][note 7] of Brahmanical orthopraxy[note 8] with various Indian cultures,[28][note 9] having diverse roots[29][note 10] and no specific founder.[30] This Hindu synthesis emerged after the Vedic period, between c. 500[31]-200[32] BCE and c. 300 CE,[31] in the period of the Second Urbanisation and the early classical period of Hinduism, when the Epics and the first Purānas were composed.[31][32] It flourished in the medieval period, with the decline of Buddhism in India.[33] Currently, the four major denominations of Hinduism are Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, and the Smarta tradition.[34][35][36][37] Sources of authority and eternal truths in the Hindu texts play an important role, but there is also a strong Hindu tradition of questioning authority in order to deepen the understanding of these truths and to further develop the tradition.[38] Hinduism is the most widely professed faith in India, Nepal and Mauritius. Significant numbers of Hindu communities are found in Southeast Asia including in Bali, Indonesia,[39] the Caribbean, North America, Europe, Oceania, Africa, and other regions.[40][41]

I just became employed to teach Zumba Gold to Seniors and Beginners. My Rec Center employer demands everyone wear sneakers/trainers for safety. Will it truly be a horrible breach of manners of I use your gestures during my dance routine? That makes me sad.
Why you hate the other indian dancers that doing mistakes at arm and hand gestures position in indian dance as the indian dance teacher?It is because islam and muslim teach the hate to the human mankind lives including the dancers.
I easily detect any hate and anger caused by islam to the non-muslims that make non-muslims hating and intolerant to the other the non-muslims.Gays hate clowns and singer hate america is the example of islam of hate and intolerance to the our non-muslim lives.

Hindu texts are classified into Śruti ("heard") and Smṛti ("remembered"), the major scriptures of which are the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Purānas, the Mahābhārata, the Rāmāyana, and the Āgamas.[19][23] There are six āstika schools of Hindu philosophy, who recognise the authority of the Vedas, namely Sānkhya, Yoga, Nyāya, Vaisheshika, Mimāmsā and Vedānta.[24][25][26] While the Puranic chronology presents a genealogy of thousands of years, starting with the Vedic rishis, scholars regard Hinduism as a fusion[note 6] or synthesis[27][note 7] of Brahmanical orthopraxy[note 8] with various Indian cultures,[28][note 9] having diverse roots[29][note 10] and no specific founder.[30] This Hindu synthesis emerged after the Vedic period, between c. 500[31]-200[32] BCE and c. 300 CE,[31] in the period of the Second Urbanisation and the early classical period of Hinduism, when the Epics and the first Purānas were composed.[31][32] It flourished in the medieval period, with the decline of Buddhism in India.[33]
Currently, the four major denominations of Hinduism are Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, and the Smarta tradition.[34][35][36][37] Sources of authority and eternal truths in the Hindu texts play an important role, but there is also a strong Hindu tradition of questioning authority in order to deepen the understanding of these truths and to further develop the tradition.[38] Hinduism is the most widely professed faith in India, Nepal and Mauritius. Significant numbers of Hindu communities are found in Southeast Asia including in Bali, Indonesia,[39] the Caribbean, North America, Europe, Oceania, Africa, and other regions.[40][41]
