CLASSIC DANCES OF THE ORIENT

by Xenia Zarina ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 29, 1967

A former ballet star who has studied and performed in the Orient, Miss Zarina describes the classic dance of India, Thailand, Cambodia, Bali, Java, and Japan. She gives some background to dance in each country, describes the dance itself, training, performance, costume, make-up, music. Particularly extensive treatments of the Indian Bhurat Natyam and the Japanese Nihan Buyo. Not a reading experience with the flair and extension of Faubion Bowers, but a student reference.
