Rich Heritage of India - Anne Dietrich
 "Mohiniyattam" is a traditional and elegant dance from Kerala, South India. This former temple dance developed into a complex and expressive form of movement.
With the help of facial expressions and acting, complex rhythmic footwork and subtle gestural movements of the fingers and hands, known as 'Mudras', stories of Indian mythology are conveyed.
This rare style can now be enjoyed and learned in Your city (Germany, Switzerland) through the platforms of dance performances, workshops, lecture demonstrations and interaction sessions.
