Yugmadwanda Pallavi

Pallavi is a pure dance item in which a raga is elaborated through eye movements, body postures and intricate footwork. Pallavi literally means blooming. This is applicable not only to the dance but also to the music, which accompanies it. Pallavi starts with slow, graceful, lyrical movement of the eyes, neck, torso and feet and slowly builds in a crescendo to climax in a fast tempo at the end.
Here is a brief portion of Yugmadwanda Pallavi performed by the senior dancers of Sankalpa Nrityayan on the ocassion of Ravash 2023 celebrating 20 years of the institution.
