The Language of Dance. Episode 2. India

Dance in India is both a vivid performance, and a story with an interesting plot, and a way of communication. In the second episode, Sasha finds out why people dance barefoot in this country and why they tie heavy bells to their ankles. Without scissors, needles and threads, he made a costume for th performance, and also checked for himself how Indian male dancers look in makeup.

Host - Aleksandr Kononov
