Aayat Dance | Bajirao Mastani | Indian Classical (Kathak) Contemporary Fusion Choreography
Ойын-сауық
This piece has been a long time in the making for me. I loved this song from Bajirao Mastani and was so inspired by the look and beauty of the whole film. I started choreographing this piece back in June 2016 and finally brought it to life as part of Roots: A Journey Through India - my travelling stage show (learn more at www.shereenladha.com/roots). I love everything about Aayat (and Bajirao Mastani) from its epic Bollywood proportions to the graceful dancing with Indian classical movement and the lyrics to every song.
Artist Statement: An Aayat in this song is used to describe Bajirao's love for Mastani. The song uses the analogies of Zikr - repeated prayers - to express how he constantly remembers her. It was this notion of repetition that I wove into the choreography to pay tribute to that.

lyrics yes but even the way you have projected it and interpreted it is so meditative. Even the turn and twirls of costume, the support of your teammates and everything in between has created a piece which extremely special and a sight to behold . As a creator, you are one letter short of being SLB ( Read Sanjay Leela Bhansali) . Please keep on choreographing. Your artistry is a gift extremely unique and wonderful.

Our school made us present different cultures and ours was korea. The dance we chose was really nice. Then the others performed and this was the dance . I remember just by the start i was completely amazed by the dance and the music, i kinda learned some steps just by watching them but after we all went home i immediately went to search for the dance and here I am, 2 years later still in love with it😂❤️

there is a poise, there is a control, there is grace, there is a rhythm in your dance. what a performance! the spinning, change of positions from you guys are so flawless. i dont know why other dancers who did some Bajirao Mastani songs feel putting in too much pressure (power) and stiffness in choreography makes it look good. at some point it feels spasmodic. too much aggression looks good in a hip hop/disco kinda song but you guys knew how to tap and channelize such energy. kudos to you guys!

niceguy the reason it was stiffness in the movie was because that's the specific dance style, it's called Kathak , think I spelled it right. It's not like regular Indian dances were its smooth and slow. It's more sharp dance moves.
