[Full title: 顿别艣墨 forms in Kerala (2): Gati in classical form of 惭辞丑颈苍颈腻峁�峁�补尘]

惭辞丑颈苍颈腻峁�峁�补尘 is known as the dance of an enchantress. This style of dance belongs to 办补颈艣颈办墨 惫峁泃迟颈, which is the graceful style as given in the 狈腻峁瓂补艣腻蝉迟谤补.^[1] This is performed by females and the movements can be taken as 蝉耻办耻尘腻谤补 prayoga, which is a gentle presentation. The basic posture is the feet placed two and half inches apart with the knee bent and turned out, this is similar to the vai峁ａ箛ava sth膩na of the 狈腻峁瓂补艣腻蝉迟谤补.^[2] The basic waist exercises are similar to that of the 狈腻峁瓂补艣腻蝉迟谤补 like rotating the torso (lolita),^[3] which is known as chuzhippu in 尘辞丑颈苍颈腻峁�峁�补尘 [尘辞丑颈苍颈腻峁�峁�补] style.^[4]

The basic movements are called 补岣峚惫耻蝉 named as:

1. thagana,
2. 箩补驳补峁嘺,
3. dhagana and
4. 蝉补尘尘颈艣谤补.^[5]

础迟颈产丑补峁単补 is the swaying movement of the torso from side to side, which creates serpentine sway of the waist. This is also known as 腻苍诲丑辞濒颈办腻. The gait of the dancer is performed based on these movements. The gati based on the rhythmic footwork is not seen instead, there are soft and sliding movements of the feet. There are many continuous movements, one movement leading to another. This is similar to the recakas of the 狈腻峁瓂补艣腻蝉迟谤补^[6] where Bharata says these are to be executed in between the 办补谤补峁嘺蝉. The 肠腻谤墨 in 惭辞丑颈苍颈腻峁�峁�补尘 is done mostly with the toe touching the floor. The wave like movement of the body is seen in the martial art of 办补濒补谤颈辫补测补峁�峁�耻. Thus, the whole dance form has 濒腻蝉测补-based movements and gaits.
