Be amazed, inspired, and educated as you learn moves from one of the oldest folk dance forms of India, Bharata Natyam. This
form of dance was nurtured in ancient times and continued to emerge throughout the 19th century. The art became a living
tradition passed down through generations as elaborate rituals performed by women. Now, Bharta Natyam, is a notable part of
India’s cultural heritage that continues to symbolize and capture the essence of beauty and strength. How can we embrace and
honor the unique experience of women? Join technology leader and talented artist, Anjali Singh, as she celebrates qualities such
as agility, grace, hard work, beauty, intelligence, and devotion through a 3000 year old cultural experience. You will get great
exercise and connect meaning to movement.

4. Lyrics in Gujarati: Holi Avi re..
Holi is here..
Bhina bhina rang ni re, chado chalkaye badhe, kesario phagan vartaye
Splash the color of the gulmohar flower essence on me to welcome the month of Phagun
Olya abhalama chang aaj gaaje jhanana jhanjharma ude gulal
The bells on my feet resonate with the music in the sky as the color fies everywhere
Aaj bhini chunrima joban leheraye, aaj prityona chantaniya thai
And through scarves drenched with color, innocence emerges love is sprinkled on everyone
Hey, hey hey, hey
Aaj mangam to aanganiye phaganiyo aviyo, ena kariyo vadhamana phule
Today, let’s receive this favorite month, that has arrived in our courtyard, with flowers
Vali, vali, ladi, ladi laiye o varana, ne anhad na dwar badhe khule
Let’s be flexible and bow to receive the unlimited blessings that we receive through the doors that have opened up
Aaj gaagar ma saagar samayo
Today the ocean fits in a pot
Hey, hey, hey….
Thao dharti na lok ek sure ke aaj, ame priti na rang rangaya
People of this earth, you have colored me with the color of love
Range rangaye ena bhed mati jaye, geet sampi ne jivava na gaya
Color me, so the differences between us go away and we can sing the same song of life
Aaj gaagar ma saagar samaya
And the ocean can fit in a pot
