[Proposal] Bharatanatyam Dance Event 2022

Hello NEAR Fam,

Bharatanatyam is a very popular form of dance in India which is over 2000 years old, and is also gaining popularity in other parts of the world.

The name Bharatanatyam actually comes from three words - bharata, natya and nritya. These words mean ‘emotion’, ‘drama’ and ‘dance’ .So the dance generally leaves the audience with a perfect blend of emotion, drama and dance.

The dance form is usually performed by solo dancers & a group of dancers who tell a story through their movements. The stories are usually based on Hindu mythology, and the dance forms are very expressive.

So we are planning to bring this oldest traditional art to web3 by conducting an event in Chennai. The event will be conducted on Thursday, 26th May 2022 at Narada Gana Sabha, Chennai.

The artist will perform continuously for an hour covering different stories & styles while keeping the audience engaged. The entire event will be recorded & uploaded on YouTube.

The event posters & short dance clips will be minted as NFTs in KalakendraDAO’s MintBase store post the event.
