Dance Movements
Sarhhtha is stylized by dramatic and sharp movements that are paired with poise, grace, and precision with an aesthetic flow.
Examples of commonly used movements:
- Twirling, spinning, and circle patterns often used with scarves and sashes.
- Sinuous and arcing circular body movements.
- Sharp, sudden gestures with the body that utilize lower body strength, and often give the illusion of being performed with great ease.
- Staccato stomping or clapping that create aesthetically pleasing waves across the flowing fabric of the short gamantangs used.
