Discover dance from around the world through Common Threads: Tapestry’s monthly dance media review series featuring resources such as the Hennepin County Library’s Dance in Video Collection.
This month, Operations Manager Sandra Carlo explores Of Beauty & Deities: Music & Dance of India—a documentary that offers a window into the artistry, history, and storytelling traditions of Bharatanatyam. Through performance footage, interviews, and live music, the film reveals how this classical dance form continues to evolve while remaining deeply rooted in cultural tradition.
