pls tell me who are those 70+ dancers who hop and dance like a 5yr old. the aging is normal and natural too. and so is the loss of grace to a larger extent. but if one is exceptionally talented, then the choice of dances do play a very important role. while in bharathanatyam, sadly, the oldies get a pass and popularity for making faces while they cant do a single trikaala jati. or just a single jati.. what do they want to show/prove? their knowledge, and prowess will be much valued when they share it very generously with the younger talented generation.
