I wanted to add an image to my discussion of classical dancing, but I somehow missed the link, Odissi dance is one of the classical dances of India and is very hard because of the body contortions, here is the picture I forgot to include it even does look hard to do. do you like Indian dances?

Sorry I hit the post comment to soon. In my dreams, I could do this dance. At my age, a lot of things are harder to do that involve moving my body.

yeah, this dance is the pretty hard as you said above due to some body contortions, and it requires a lots of hard work to learn this dance, and do steps according to the master... Have Fun!!!

most people including the students don't realize how hard it really is to do these dances.

I do like to watch the Indian dances. It is fascinating to watch the way they move. The picture you posted here there is no way I could move in that way. But I suppose they have a lot of training to be able to dance that way.

Oh yes they get years of training to be able to dance like that and to make it look so easy too.

I love it! I think the way they dance is amazing, there is no way I could dance like that, my body has not got the first clue about rythym! But I love the way they dance, its beautiful to watch.

yes me too, the way you have to shape your body in all kinds of weird ways and still look so graceful is something.
