A still from the documentary, And So We Dance

Kathak and contemporary dancer Hrishikesh Pawar begins his class with simple movements. Using both his hands, he creates imaginary waves, folds his index fingers and thumbs to enact the stance of a peacock, and then stretches his hands towards the ceiling and joins his palms together in the pose of a mountain. A group of students in the room observe him, and slowly replicate the movements, some struggling initially to gain control of their trembling hands.
