The renowned dancer Balasaraswathy once made a remark that nritha (dance) is originally 'nrithayoga'. That is an absolute truth. While dance enthralls the minds of spectators, it acts as yogic exercise for the performer. It invigorates their mind, makes their body powerful and above all keeps away diseases.
This remark of her's points to the fact that talented children should be screened out and given practice in the young ages.
