Where the whole bodily movements come in a very graceful way. Total body we use. And the rhythms and the pure dance techniques. And the bodily expressions, what we call is Nritha, Nrithiya. So Nritha means a pure dance. Nrithiya means Abhinaya, expression, miming. So this combination of two are very important when the dancer dances to tell the story.
