TARANA

Tarana is a type of composition in Hindustani classical vocal music which reflects a beautiful blend of Indian and Persian cultures. It was created by the famous poet Amir Khusrau. This dance starts off at Madhya Lay (medium tempo) and transforms to Drut Lay (high tempo) as the music progresses. The dancers showcase their grace, hand movements and footwork in this intricate piece which reaches to a crescendo during which the dancers put in their best foot forward.
