Dr. Nataraj Ramakrishna had dedicated his life towards the promotion and
propagation of Andhra Natyam but it is disheartening to note that this
dance style has not received the recognition it truly deserves. The
contribution of Andhras towards the enrichment of dance is remarkable.
It would be no exaggeration to state that there is no musical or dance
performance without a Telugu song.
Andhra Natyam belongs to Andhra Pradesh and it enjoys a supreme place in the history of Indian dance. Known as the feminine tradition, it is more than two thousand years old and is enriched and embellished with bhava (expressions), raga (musical melody) and tala (rhythm). A combination of these three aspects can be called Bharatam, therefore Andhra Natyam can be called the Bharatanatyam of the Andhras. Unfortunately, Andhra Natyam does not enjoy international recognition like Bharatanatyam.
