The tradition
Kerala Natanam (Kerala Dance) is a new style of dance that is now recognised as a distinct art form evolved from Kathakali, a form of Indian dance-drama. The Indian dancer Guru Gopinath, a well-trained Kathakali artist, and his wife Thankamani Gopinath who was the first student of Mohiniyattam in Kerala Kalamandalam, developed a unique structure for teaching and performing classical dance forms of India whose origins are from Kathakali. Solo, duets, dance dramas and traditional folk dances were the material they chose.¶
