Movements

Sarhhtha is stylized by dramatic and sharp movements that are paired with poise, grace, precision with an aesthetic flow. Examples of commonly used movements:

Twirling, spinning, and circle patterns often used with scarves and sashes.
Sinuous body movements that utilize amazing control over the body and often include arcing circular movements.
Sharp gestures with the body that require lower body strength, but give the illusion of being performed with great ease.
Staccato stomping and clapping to create aesthetically pleasing waves across the flowing fabric of the short gamantangs used.
