| book description |

In From Anagahara to Adavu Heather Parker Lewis delves deeper into the history of Indian dance steps. More focused on a specific time in history and dance steps than her previous two books on Indian Classical Dance, From Angahara to Adavu is written it three parts. Part One examines specific socio-political issues and the personalities central to creating an altered form of the classical dances of India and the spaces in which they were performed. Part Two interprets the dancing feet. The section on the history of the steps (specific to dance) explores the link between current classical dance steps and Desi Dance. Part Three is a diversion that returns briefly to the Natya Sastra and motivates for a closer look at Bharata's thirty-two angahara and a unique stand-alone dance style. Meticulously researched; From Angahara to Adavu presents the history of Indian Classical Dance in an accessible style, written to inspire those unfamiliar with the art to discover more on their own.
