I wouldn't say I've dropped the interest, but it is certainly on hold. I did get Dances of India - Learning Bharata Natyam video, but it's really quite terrible, so I didn't use it. Aside from skimming the video once, my only real exposure to Bharata Natyam has been seeing three or four performances of it. I can't claim to have studied the dance based off just this.

If I discover a good bharata natyam teacher in the area, I'd love to study with him/her. I think it's a gorgeous dance.
