1 WATCH: An Indian classical dance tribute to healthcare and front-line workers

Apsaras Arts, a Singaporean Indian dance company, has performed a dance tribute dedicated to healthcare and front-line workers.

Titled Gratitude, the piece is set to melodious flute music and features four dancers conveying gratitude for being healthy, as well as hope that those who have fallen ill are well cared for and can recover soon.

The piece is choreographed by Mohanapriyan Thavarajah in the Indian classical dance style of Bharatanatyam, with artistic direction by Aravinth Kumarasamy.

The dance company has also recently uploaded several other dance excerpts to its YouTube page, such as that of a boat scene from the piece Agathi - The Plight Of The Refugee, as well as from the work Anjasa, which was performed at the 39th Natya Kala Conference in Chennai, India, last year.
