Отчетный концерт Школы танца BALANCE CLUB,Москва,28 мая 2018 г.
Main feature if Thillana is brick and attractive music. Thillanas are sung in the end of either music or dance performance. Thillana includes Pallavi, Anupallavi and Charanam. Is starts from eye movements, followed by several Mai Adavus (featuring elaborate body movements) set to Pallavi. After Mai adavu several korvais (sets of adavus) are performed set to Pallavi and Anupallavi.
Usi adavu is another feature of Thillana, when dancer covers the stage by quick and fast sequence of movements. Thillana is Nritta item, but there is always one-two line slokam in the end when dancer performs abhinaya (Addressing the deity last time before to conclude the program).
Sloka
Sometimes a recital concludes with a sloka (prayer). The sanchari`s in a sloka should be brief. This is an item without tala and provides felief after the earlier items. It also gives the musicians a chance to use their creativity.
