The Alarippu ((タミル語:அலாரிப்பு); meaning ''flowering bud'') is traditionally the first dance piece that Bharatanatyam dancers learn and perform in this type of classical dance recital. It is an invocation piece, symbolising the offering of respects to both God and the audience. It is a dance ritual accompanied by a ''nattuvanar'' (verbal percussionist) and a drummer. The act is entirely based on rhythm and is focused on relaxing the body of the dancer, thereby relaxing her mind and symbolizes her awakening. The alarippu is done at the beginning of the performance and is done in three tempos. Alarippu means blossoming of body and mind, and is also known as Alarisu. Alarippu is first done in samabhangi, aremandi, purnamandi, intricate adavus and ends with mukthayas. This nrutha item symbolises offering prayer to God, to the stage and solution to preceptors and elders. It belongs to the nritta category. It is usually of a duration of 4 to 5 minutes. It exercises the whole body, from the head to the toes. Alarippu can be done in 5 jathis- thristra, chathustra, khandha, misram and sankeernam . Alarippu done in each jathi will differ in steps and talam. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alarippu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
