Non verbal communication & Dance :)

Coming from two different cultures and backgrounds, I had to learn two different cultures. But I must admit, the only one common thing I can relate to about both my cultures is DANCE! I was twelve when I did my first Bhangra performance (Punjabi) and twenty when I first performed Kathak (Ceylonese) 
So now to begin with my story: on Sunday after kathak class, on the way home, I realized something. Dance is related with human communication!! Hence, the dancing thing we did the other day in tutorial  So anyway, if you have seen Indian dance performances, you will know that d performers are actually telling the audience a story in a different language. Everything is about non verbal communication @ body language. The most important form of body language we use is obviously ‘FACIAL EXPRESSION’, and also having to maintain eye contact with the audience. Hence, the think eye make-up we dancers normally have on. It’s exactly like he silent movie we did. We wouldn’t have understood all those movies we made if not for the good body language we used. I must admit, when we first learnt chapter 5, I didn’t see the importance of non verbal communication, but now I do!
