#India Best Dancer 2

[hotvintagepoll]

Propaganda

Ruby Myers (Typist Girl, Cinema Queen)— I just recently saw a documentary about her and thought that besides being really pretty, she had a very interesting life. She was born in the early 1900s in India to a Baghdadi Jewish family, and became the first woman to act in an Indian silent film. In the 1930s she started her own film production house, Rubi Pics, way before most female producers in Hollywood broke through. More info can be found in this Golden Globes webpage on her life [link]

Ginger Rogers (Swing Time, Top Hat)—Look I’ll level with you, I’ve never seen her in a musical and I know that she’s an amazing dancer and she’ll be even hotter when I finally watch Top Hat but I’m not submitting her as a dancer I’m submitting her as an ACTRESS. Her comic timing is impeccable!!!!! She’s full to bursting with life and in every role she seems to be having FUN, you can practically feel the twinkle in her eye. With her natural warmth it’s like she’s letting you in on the joke, y’all get to have this fun together! Making me laugh is hot!!! [If you'd like to see Ginger dance, videos below the cut]

This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Ruby Myers:

Ginger Rogers propaganda:

She needs no introduction! An undeniable powerhouse on the dancefloor, and no less talented an actress. I once watched a compilation of cinema's greatest dance scenes and one of her and Fred Astaire's dances was featured, and one of the talking heads said he pitied her for 'having to keep up with him' - or something to that effect. Bullshit, I cry. Ginger Rogers was his absolute equal, and underplaying her incredible skill is downright criminal. I want the 'Cheek to Cheek' sequence from Top Hat to be permanently burned into my memory.

"Backwards in high heels", as the saying goes (though the pedant in me must point out that she in fact spent her fair share of time leading or dancing side-by-side). One of the earliest twinkle-toed ladies of the silver screen, and in terms of acting/persona, her balance of wide-eyed cuteness and movie-star glamour has never quite been replicated.

we all know her beloved string of musicals with fred but ginger also has an extensive and varied non-fred filmography that she's great in! a few ginger moments that are important 2 me personally ginger singing “we’re in the money” in gold diggers of 1933, complete with a verse in pig latin bc this whole movie is kinda mocking the concept of anyone actually being in the money in 1933; ginger and una merkel singing a verse of “shuffle off to buffalo” in 42nd street, providing some statler & waldorf-esque commentary on newlyweds from the upper berth of a railway car (interesting that belly was apparently a risque word in 1933 - maybe its bc the lyric is innuendo-ing about out of wedlock pregnancies - and that panties was a term for men’s underthings!); a favorite fred & ginger number

Ginger Rogers could do everything! She could sing, dance and act. She was hilarious in comedies, moving in dramatic roles (she won an Oscar for Kitty Foyle in 1940) and absolutely gorgeous!

Listen, no shade to Fred Astaire at all, but she both kept up with him step for step and then later went on to WIN AN OSCAR FOR ACTING. (which he did not.) truly a double threat!!!

One of the best dancers in Hollywood! Her work with Fred Astaire is just incredible.

ONE LINE: "Everything Fred did, Ginger did backwards and in heels" AND THEYRE RIGHT! Rogers was a total dance badass, and a lot of movie buffs know the story, but the Never Gonna Dance number from Swing Time took almost 50 takes, and allegedly by the end of filming it her white shoes had been stained pink because her feet were bleeding. As a note, she looks crazy gorgeous in this number. Watching these two dance is insane. They match up to each other in a way my mom describes as "divine" and she's right. DANCE NUMBERS!

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off (Shall We Dance, 1937, dancing starts at 3:14, they're in ROLLERSKATES)

(Ginger Rogers is the hottest woman ever to live in this number. seeing this as a teenager altered my brain chemistry)

(also watch her feet and how she moves opposite Astaire in this one. We all know our boy Freddie had that precision demon but jesus christ Miss Rogers, let a girl live!)

Pick Yourself Up, Swing Time 1936 (Everyone's seen this one but by god you are going to see it AGAIN!)

Shall We Dance, 1937 (duet begins at 2:34)

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Roberta 1935 (There's just something about Ginger Rogers in a slick black dress man)

The Continental, The Gay Divorcee 1934

God she's MAGIC in this one.

Gay Divorcee's Ending Montage 1934The infamous table and chairs spin happens at about 0:49. Pay CLOSE attention to her in this bc it looks like witchcraft and I feel lightheaded whenever I watch this movie bc shes THAT awesome.

She is a miracle to watch. Sorry for the sheer amount of clips. My entire family is like madly in love with Ginger Rogers.

The questions regarding smngg are

They had a global audition in many countries even in southeast asian countries this year They even had a live audition of girls from India so do you think they will add any girls from this audition in their girl group or any indian girl as kpop entertainment are welcoming indians too.

When they will debut

No of members

Concept and nationality too also rumors are this time its going to be south east asian group

Their impact on 5th gen

Will they be big as blackpink

Level of success

thank you for the.. repeating asks.

About rough energy (general reading), SMNGG as a collective group are all over the place. I believe there was change in the lineup in the recent weeks, possibly because of them being different tham the rest. They could've broke a rule as SME trainee. Nothing else. I could see a few girls close with each other, bu the way but nothing much.

About whether they'll debut in the 4th quarter of this year, yeah, I can see it, but there will be delays for their debut preparations in a way or another. I can see SMNGG debuting in December this year if they solve everything as soon as possible. There could be a scandal in the company that will be revealed publicly. If related to the girls, it can be similar situation to Karina's before aespa debuted (not saying it will be bullying 100%).

As amount of members, I see 8. They were going to be 9 if that girl wasn't kicked out. The original plan was 5-member girl group but they scrapped it out.

I do see their concept being versatile rather than having specific vibe. Maybe like Red Velvet's (oh, their impact!) but they haven't decided it very specific what and how exactly it should be.

Girl #1: The most hardworking out of all of them. The most talented but the most introverted too. She might be an it-girl of her generation, or has the potential to be very impactful. Basically, her personality is very relateable and loved. Possibly Na Haeun. As positions, I don't feel any. Maybe a bunch of them at once (Like Vocalist, Dancer, FOTG..). Might be interested in songwriting/producing songs in the future.

Girl #2: Being a trainee from quite some time. Also very hardworking and plans quite a lot. Might receive the leader position.. so possibly she's the oldest girl. I don't feel other positions. If that's Helen, then she can receive also a dancer position.

Girl #3: Very intiutive and optimistic person. She learns dances and everything else slower. If the other idols are way greater dancers, then she might receive criticism from k-netizens bc of it. Don't feel specific positions yet.

Girl #4: Might be foreigner. She feels determinated to debut, but also feels this isn't worth it to some extent. Very emotional too. Might receive vocal position (Lead?). I don't feel she's from India but she might be from an island - Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan or Malaysia. Definitely Asian.

Girl #5: Although as hardworker as the first girl, she doubts her own abilities and talents. Might have issues with her confindence, her mental health, these things. This doesn't make her less talented but she's not on her best time when I asked. Therefore, I don't feel any certain positions.

Girl #6: Might receive dancer position. Very hardworking, also very realistic mindset (with optimistic tendencies). She tries to be a good.. rapper? but doesn't feel this is her thing. SME seems to have in mind for her to be "dancer, (something else)" as positions. She tries with rapping but doesn't work as of now.

Girl #7: Might be the second most popular member in the future. Extremely emotional, very talkative, very creative too. She gives me Ningning vibes, I won't lie (because of her Libra stellium). Main vocalist, I feel so.

Girl #8: Overthinker for sure, might be very critic to herself. She is also working very hard, might come from a wealthy family. She's not rigged for sure, she might be the 2nd all-rounder of the group. I don't feel specific positions yet.

So far I sense 1 (certain?) foreigner.. and the rest of them Koreans. The 2nd girl might've lived in foreign lands, maybe Australia if that's Helen.

Their popularity in the 5th generation won't be that great, they might be overshadowed by other groups. So far I feel ther relevance will be similar to Red Velvet (just enough). Might be more popular outside of Korea.

Their success will be "just enough". The half of the girls will be more relevant than the rest. I don't feel anything prominent.

Assign your moots bollywood songs and why?

Stop I love this so much 🥺😭. I haven’t been listening to Bollywood music much nowadays so this is totally on my old knowledge since idk any new songs.

@sohnric : Hey Ya! From the movie Karthik calling Karthik

This is totally because bar just genuinely radiates the kind of energy where you stop whatever you’re doing and just stare at her once she walks in the room.

@from-izzy : Haule Haule From the movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Hmm so basically to sum it up Izz is someone who will make you feel comfortable in an instant even when you just started talking with her. That’s just how she is tbh and I love the vibes of this song so much 🥺

Bonus I assign Chammak Challo from the movie Ra.One to @from-izzy because I can and I will 🥰🫶🏻

@kimsohn : What Jhumka? From the movie Rocky aur Rani Kii prem kahani

I think this is self explanatory. Shru and me had talked about pretty jhumkas and what not when it comes to Indian culture. I totally think of Shru when I listen to What Jhumka now 🥺.

@winterchimez : Love You Zindagi from the movie Dear Zindagi

At first I was planning on giving Cham Cham to Als but then when I remembered the song love you zindagi I knew it was for ally because to be fair 1. She was one of the first moots I got close with 2. Girlie is still thriving despite everything 🥺🫂

@cloverdaisies : Saturday Saturday from the movie Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania

Plz don’t judge this song yall ☹️. This is like the song you will hear at a dance party in India and clo fits this so well 🥺. Like yes girl go and get your drinks after the tough week 😭. (I was gonna give Party all night but I don’t want clo to get mad at me 🥰)

@strayed-quokka : Garmi from the movie street dancer 3D

Hmm I will say it. Lenlen makes me blush all the time hence this song so yes but lemme remember more oh yes! Subha Hone Na De because I just know if me and lenlen meet we would stay up all night just talking, eating, dancing and what not 🥰.

@astrae4 : Ratta Maar from the movie Student of the year

Poor baby has back to back exams nowadays hence this song 🥺😭. All the best non 🫶🏻 but if not that song then Tum Se Hi from Jab We Met because she just meets these vibes so well ☹️🥺. Literally one of my favourite movies and songs <3

@o-onikix : Paisa from the movie De Dana Dan

Hmm 🥰 because this girl is always in some need of money (us girl us) but like Nara is the depiction of Ye Ishq hai from Jab We Met so yes that song too because coughs 🥰 but also Badtamerz Dil because YJHD is her favourite movie and it’d be a crime if I don’t assign any song from that movie

@quaissants : One Two Three Four (Get On the dance floor) from the movie Chennai Express

Because I can and I will, as in the movie the actor (SRK) is drunk and Mona is drunk without drinking anything most of the time so yes. Other than this song I assign Kashmir Main Tu Kanyakumari simply because i think it fits Mona.

@itsbeeble : Senorita from the movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Sooraj Dooba Hain from the movie Roy

It’s always chaos with Reese 🥰 and because she is always awake and is pretty much busy with everything most of the times so she needs these type of things in her life.

@hcuyk : Uff Teri Adaa from the movie Karthik calling Karthik

Have been a huge fan of her since I read Kidult and if I say that this is the biggest compliment I could give as an Indian then? Because the way we all scream to these lyrics when it plays and also she is so these lyrics 😭 (btw plz let me know what emoji you want 🥺😭)

@stealanity : Param Sundari from the movie Mimi

Marty is soooo these lyrics 🥺. Like yes guys she is my param sundari 😍. I don’t have much to say but yes 👏

@juyeonszn : High Heels ke Nachche from the movie Ki and Ka

Omg tbh I don’t know why I chose this song but Dawn is so this song. Idk why but yes.

I think that’s all 😭. Plz let me know if you want a part two with the rest of my moots because I used all my brain juice for this one.

[chuuuvi]

Chuang Asia Thailand Ep 2

More notes, more spoilers, and an updated personal top nine. Welcome to the watch-along!

•The singing battle was wild. I feel like these shows tend to have more dancers than singers but the vocal power on this show is crazy. I really liked how they each have such a different style. Mamcú deserved the win though. She brought so much soul into her performance. Blew poor Yean out of the water I’m afraid.

•Okay Ruan time! Finally! I liked the song and they performed it well. Top t-t-t-t-top killer!

•DAMN the dreamy ladies live up to their name. I’m not immune to tall intimidatingly beautiful actress women.

•What is going on?? Why are they performing a soap opera now where Mike Angelo is cheating on his wife AND girlfriend with Jackson Wang?? And another acting exercise?? AND THIS ONE ENDS UP GAY TOO? Okay they’re doing a third scene now. Is this just what the show is now? Lol the last one didn’t end up gay but Nene breaking into an emotional song as they did a dramatic slow-mo scene was pretty funny.

•Alright we got CSR! I love their music! I don’t know the members well though so I won’t give any of them particular preference. They performed Pop?Pop! and I think they were good! The show is being harsh on them though!

•Oh I was so hype when Tegan picked her own musical partner and best friend Kaylen to battle. Like yes thats good reality tv right there! I really really love Tegan’s voice too.

•Dorm time is always fun even though it’s filler. You really get to see the personalities of everybody.

•Rinka and Shye moving up to B!! Also not surprised about Mamcú and Tegan moving all the way down to F. I like them both but they’ve got work to do with dancing. Omg MINGMING! Getting from F to A on her birthday!!

•I had already seen them perform the theme song but anyway it’s fun. I like the song and the dance. Looking forward to getting into the actual competition now!

I don’t usually think of my top nine as curating an actual group btw. Its just who I’m currently voting for :)

I won’t reintroduce the girls that were on my ranking last time but I’ll do new additions

2. Ruan - I loved her on Girls Planet 999! I really think she’s going to debut in this show and I’m happy for her. She just got that star factor!

8. Yuan Ke - Her extra performance song was so lovely and emotional sounding which makes sense since she’s a musical theatre actor. She’s also really cute and I’m a sucker for cute.

9. Zoi - She killed it!! I was drawn to her in her group performance and then her extra performance was amazing! I think that she’s the only representative of India so it was cool to see her show her culture too.

Honorable Mentions:

Liliana Li - I’m intrigued but her cool girl vibe and her singing voice. She seems fun.

Seoyeon - out of the csr girlies I’m most interested in her. She’s so cute and I really liked how she went out of her way to help the other contestants with the theme song dance.

X/1999 Volume 3 Illustration Comments 

1992 Monthly Asuka August Issue, Title Page Illustration

Paper: Kent Block

Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen

Color: Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink, India Ink, Liquitex

The aim behind this illustration was to use all the space provided by the two-page spread in order to draw a very large close-up. And to top it off, I was bold enough to do the shading using just India Ink (laughs].

2002 Monthly Asuka April Issue, Cover Illustration

This is a relatively recent piece, so you can see the influence on my drawing style from my work on another series. Her head is large, plus her arms and legs seem short... [laughs]. She's a little plump too.. [laughs]. Since this was an illustration of Kotori and I wanted to give it a pure and innocent atmosphere, she's holding a white lily. I think I did most of the colors with Copic markers. I always draw Kotori with a very faint and soft touch, so here too the lines are drawn with sepia instead of black.

2002 Monthly Asuka February Extra Issue, X Comic Collection 03 Illustration

This is the illustration of Kotori with the blue headdress I was talking about before. (Ed. Note: See the illustration comment for page 3 of X 3-in-1 Edition, volume 2.] One mistake I made here was that I drew the bird too realistically (laughs]. The background was colored in gray tones so that the feathers in her hand would look like snow. I mostly used color ink for this one; the only place I used Copic markers were her eves. I also used Liquitex for the headdress. I wanted to convey the rounded texture of the beads, and Liquitex is the best thing to use for items like that

1999 Monthly Asuka June Issue. Title Page Illustration

The image that I had in mind while creating this illustration was that of a female dancer performing a ceremonial offertory dance. I used acrylic gouache for the wisteria flowers. The main lines are drawn in sepia ink. I usually use sepia for inking the outlines of characters with pale color profiles. since the lines stand out too much when they are drawn in black In addition to Hinoto, Kakyo and Kotori also have sepia outlines. Yuto is the only exception: although he has a light color profile, he looks good with crisp outlines, so I often draw him with black ink.

2000 Monthly Asuka May Issue, Title Page Illustration

"Woman with a Black Veil": what an obvious title [laughs]! I always wanted to draw this kind of image. I thought the dark veil wouldn't really suit Karen; Kanoe was the only character who would look good with something like this. I drew the veil thinking that it kind of looked like a wing. I used color ink for the background and I purposely shaded it in a way that lacked uniformity

2002 Monthly Asuka October Issue, Title Page Illustration

You can see Sorata's familiar here, so this is an illustration for the second half of the story. I actually enjoy drawing creatures and inanimate objects more than people. I wanted to do something with the familiar sitting on his hand like a pet. Ohkawa told me to do an illustration with Sorata wearing street clothes. And thats how this image came about. Sorata was drawn using Copic markers, the background was done with a thin layer of modeling paste, and the shadow was drawn with color ink

1995 October, X Volume 7 Cover illustration Paper: BB Kent Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen Color: Acrylic gouache. Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink. modeling paste

This is supposed to be an image of Sorata in front of a wall with lots of graffiti and other things drawn on it. But there aren't a lot of variations possible when the theme color is yellow. I always have trouble coming up with items for light backgrounds [laughs].

1993 November, X2 Music Video, Comic Cover Illustration 

Paper: BB Kent

Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen

Color: Acrylic gouache. Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink, modeling paste. poster color

I wanted this illustration to have the atmosphere of a wall fresco. I used gold poster color to ink in the decorative elements and keywords.

[Ed. Note: Poster color is also known as "poster paint" or "tempera paint."]

1999 Monthly Asuka October Issue, Title Page Illustration 

This piece was drawn mostly with Copic markers. I wanted the bandages, blood and cherry blossoms to really stand out, so I colored the background black, but since Subaru only wears black clothes the illustration became completely black [laughs]. I used different media to color the clothes and background in order to distinguish the textures. The background was done with an airbrush. I created the cherry blossoms using acrylic gouache and then sprayed over that again with the airbrush.

2000 Monthly Asuka October Issue, Title Page Illustration

A lot of Subaru's illustrations have the same atmosphere, like this one [laughs] I had to include cherry blossoms--well, actually, I didn't have to include them flaughs], but I wanted to put in as many as possible. The composition would've looked slightly crowded if the branches of the cherry blossoms were prominent, so I wanted to make the background as dark as possible. Subaru is still wearing ceremonial clothes, so I thought he'd look good against a black background. I used a sepia tone for the main outlines, and an airbrush for the background to give it a soft touch

2002 October X TV Anime Volume 9 DVD Box Illustration

From the beginning, I had decided on a black background for this illustration, but I had a hard time trying to get Seishiro to stand out with his black clothes. In desperation. I placed a sliding screen behind him and had the Pick background run behind that. As a result. here's more white in this illustration than black Which is something I regret, As for the round shapes that appear in the DVD box illustrations. in this one I drew the moon on Subaru's side, and in Seishiro..the blade of the sickle isn’t exactly round, but it's meant to represent that shape.

1996 Monthly Asuka March Issue, Title Page Illustration 

Paper: Wood-free paper.

Lines PIGMA Graphic ink pen Color Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink, Copic marker

I started using Dr. Ph. Martin's ink and Copic markers together around the time that I drew this. I just wanted to make it as cute as possible, as you can probably tell [laughs]. She's the only character who I can draw really cute illustrations of.

1996 June, X Volume 8, Cover Illustration Paper: BB Kent Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen Color: Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink, Copic marker, Colortone

Orange was the color theme for this illustration, so I had her wear orange- hued plastic clothes that I had always wanted to try out. It's just like taking photos for a magazine. 

(Ed. Note: Colortone is a type of colored screentone; it's also sometimes called "overlay.”)

2002 February X TV Anime Volume 1 DVD Box Illustration

This is the illustration for the first volume of the DVD box set. Ohkawa had asked me to do a single piece that would wrap all the way around the box. Plus, the front and back of the box had to feature the characters who played a major role in that DVD volume. I personally wanted to incorporate a round shape as a theme, so I included that in all the illustrations as well. For this volume, that shape is a gear wheel.

2002 Monthly Asuka May Issue, Calling Card Illustration (Kamui) 2002 May. Movic Calling Card Illustration (Subaru)

The two halves of this illustration were used separately for calling cards offered by Movic and Asuka. If you got hold of both cards and put them together, you'd get the full image. Kamui and Subaru are often depicted together. They almost seem like brothers in a sense, so it's an easy combination to draw. Although they both have black hair, Subaru has a darker, more pure-black hair color. This is the same in both the manga and anime; ever since Tokyo Babylon Subaru has been drawn without any gloss to his hair [laughs]. Another character who has pretty black hair is Arashi. 

[Ed. Note: Movic is one of Japan's largest producers of anime-related merchandise.]

1993 X Calendar Illustration Paper: Arches Lines: Holbein Color Ink (Special Black) Color: Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink

I colored Kanoe's stockings using an airbrush to give them a realistic look, but the effect turned out to be far more striking than I expected (laughs]. I like the lecherous atmosphere of this illustration [laughs].

1997 January. X Volume 9. Cover Illustration Paper: BB Kent Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen Color: Acrylic gouache. Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink. Lumocolor Liquitex

 I used lots of Liquitex for this one since I wanted to give it a shiny look. like the insulation material on wiring. This image is set during the last minutes of adjustments before the Beast was completed.

Netflix's One Piece Live Action Season 2 Got A Majestic Filming Update

Highlights: - One Piece Live Action Season2 will introduce new characters and some join the Straw Hats. - Luffy faces the most threat foe in the upcoming season. - The Straw Hats get their crew doctor. On Tuesday, December 17, 2024, the filming of Netflix's One Piece Live Action Season 2 wrapped (Via Comicbook). The most talked-about Netflix's One Piece Live Action Season 2 was filming in Cape Town with the entire cast and crew. The first season of OPLA was a phenomenal hit, crashed many records and broke the years-long crash of anime live-action failure.

(Credits: Buggy D. Clow from One Piece Live Action) Netflix's OPLA Season 1 was not only successful in the streaming platform but also ignited hope among others to continue producing anime's live-action adaptation. It is one of the manga adaptations, given its fidelity to the source material, performance, and visuals. One Piece Live Action Season 1 was the most-watched show on Netflix in the second half of 2023. Released on Thursday, August 31, 2023, on Netflix, OPLA Season 1 brought the storm in the entertainment industry. And just after two weeks of season 1 ended, Eiichiro Oda, the One Piece writer, illustrator and Executive Director, confirmed the series has been renowned for the second season. Since Eiichiro Oda is the Executive Director of the show, he took every possible step to ensure that the best series possible is delivered. The filming started in South Africa, and the recent update suggests it has been wrapped up. The cast and crew had a celebration party in Cape Town. Natalie Walsh, a stuntwoman and actress from Cape Town, shared with three stuntmen and choreographers on her Instagram story: Nathan Barris, Shaun Verth, and Mcrae Douglas. https://twitter.com/pewpiece/status/1868215491665285378 Although no official announcement has been made public, the wrap-up celebrated the key roles, likely excluding the main cast. The filming officially began in June 2024 and is expected to end in December, so it's on schedule. However, the One Piece Live Action Season 2 won't be available to stream till late 2025.

What To Expect From Netflix's One Piece Live Action Season 2?

OPLA Season 1 covers the Romance Dawn, Shell Town, Orange Dawn, Syrup Village, Baratie, Arlong Park, and Loguetown Arc. The seven total arcs from the One Piece manga series. Fans can expect the upcoming season to cover the next five arcs, including Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Whiskey Peak, and Drum Island.

(Credits: Zoro from One Piece Live Action) As the story unfolds, new characters will join the Straw Hats: Nico Robin and Tonny Chopper. Despite the initial thought, the series confirmed it would adapt the Arasbasta Arc in Season 3. This allows Netflix to remain loyal to the manga without excluding the moments and characters. OPLA Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger with a serious man holding Luffy's wanted poster. Fans can expect the identity of the character will be revealed in the upcoming season. Further, the Straw Hats are making their way to the Grand Line and will face greater threats than ever. Fans can meet new characters, including one who will join the crew. Oda already teased in the announcement video that the crew will need a doctor. And this doctor happens to be the show's most celebrated character. Not only that, but we will soon find out more about the King of the Pirates. While One Piece Live Action follows the story from the manga, it has considerable changes. Hence, there's no guarantee the scenes will play out exactly as Oda envisioned. Also Read: Crayon Shin-chan Movie 2025: “Super Brilliant! The Scorching Kasukabe Dancers” Set in India

the spiritual journey of bharatanatyam - from temple dance to global stage | Spardha School Of Music

This ancient dance form reflects the sacred connection between art and spirituality. Bharatanatyam’s graceful expressions and precise movements narrate epic tales, celebrating life and divinity. Its journey from temple sanctuaries to international stages highlights its universal relevance. Spardha School of Music proudly carries forward this legacy, nurturing passion and creativity https://www.spardhaschoolofmusic.com/blog/the-spiritual-journey-of-bharatanatyam-from-temple-dance-to-global-stage

One of India's oldest classical dance forms, Bharatanatyam, was performed in the temples of Tamil Nadu. Traditionally, this dance was not only an art but also a form of worship, a language of the faith, and a way of expressing stories.

Today, it has grown and reached across the globe, but even then, it remains a divine dance form. Students who have been eager to learn this dance form are enrolling in offline or online dance lessons. Below is a glimpse of its exciting history, from temple sanctuaries to the world's stage. 

1. Ancient Origins

Bharatnatyam art originated more than 2000 years ago as Sadhir Attam and was practiced and performed only in temples. The devadasis (temple dancers) dedicated their lives to the dance of prayer and gift to deities. 

Their dance moves convey messages associated with Hindu gods and goddesses. 

They enacted scenes derived from epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Every twist, turn, and face (or mudra) in Bharatanatyam has a specific message—a significance felt by both dancers and the audience.

This is why they have managed to keep Bharatanatyam going and take shape for other generations. 

Perhaps the best revelation by Dance Scholar Sunil Kothari was his remark about Bharatanatyam, “It is not just dance; it is divinity in a language-like form, beyond words.”

2. The Colonial Era and Revival

The British colonial era had several problems regarding this. The devadasi system was tainted, and even the temple dancers of Bharatanatyam were banned from performing in temples. 

However, it was again brought into practice in the 20th  century by leaders like Rukmini Devi Arundale and the Late E. Krishna Iyer, who spread the abstract concept of the dance form with a highly spiritual message. 

They brought the art form to mortuary arches and altered it so that the secular world could sustain itself outside the temples.

3. Bharatanatyam in the Global Context

Today, Bharatanatyam has become a recognized dance form internationally with many complex, beautiful, and spiritual impressions. 

However, it is still traditional even in today’s stories and looks broader in its appeal. 

Contemporary performers keep using Bharatanatyam to portray today’s story and highlight social issues, hence appealing to many.

Bharatanatyam focuses on the beauty of its movements, which commands respect and calls out to the spirit. 

Even when performed outside the temple, the soul of Bharatanatyam is always devotion or bhakti, and the gestures also speak across space and time, conveying basic human sentiments.

The experts say that whenever this dance form is practiced in an auditorium in New York or any temple in Chennai, it conveys the same spiritually charged message that makes it timeless.

4. Final Thoughts

The stage growth of Bharatanatyam from the temple sanctum to the world stages is a rich testimonial. 

With a quote from Rukmini Devi Arundale, a pioneer in retrieving Bharatanatyam, art should be defined as “The art in its real terms is the representation of spirit in the domain of the infinite.” 

Bharatanatyam, which is all about spirituality, tradition, and flexibility masked in an overly aesthetic form, has remained a wondrous form of art that has created wonders for audiences for centuries.
