Hi STARFIRE and grandaughter !!! . . . Sorry for my delay in answering your POST . . . great sharing . . . one of the finest of the many Indian dance performances I have watched was performed by a dancer who had learned SOLELY from T.V. and videos . . so persevere with attempts to buy some cheap videos and videoed T.V. programs from the HINDU dancers and Mothers . . . start with ONE style first (e.g. Bharata Natyam) and when g'daughter has mastered a good range of those movements and sequences look at some other styles . . . Also contact Mother SITA devadassi of Budapest who POSTS on this BOARD . . . She may have some suggestions . . . Only last night I watched a beautiful performance by a duo of 8 yr. olds at the NAVARATRI festival . . . there was certainly some past-life-experience in that performance . . . Blessings
