Indian dance uses a lot of hand movements. Their are a lot of different styles to the Indian dance from folk to traditional. It is belived that symmetrical patterns by hand movements convey the connection of the dance to the universe around her/him. Mudras are a very important part of Indian dance they can express extreme joy or grief. there are 28 gestures for a single hand and 24 for both hands. these are call Asanyukta and Sanyakta.

[], there was another cite but i did it at school and couldn't find it

The website: it has links for their dance program. It also has a link to learn how to speak Kathak. IT also tells you about their company. It is not run by an author but a company. It has different names of people that started different dances that i saw at other websites. i didn't choose these because i couldn't understand anything they wrote but with this one i can understand it just fine.
