hai, traditional dances are not encouraged, i cant accept it, i can say that many of the youth are not getting attracted or they are not willing to learn traditional dances because due to lack of awareness and imporatnce of traditional dance, according to me this is the main reason.

Any traditional dance that seems to become unpopular is because people try to fit in with what IS popular. I am not encouraging that. I sadly see the same thing happening here. Our traditional dances are becoming more and more influenced by other forms. That is not to say that those that came up with the new variations of traditional dance by reflecting other dances were not in my mind geniuses lol. Simply i miss seeing the true traditional dance.
