Roshan Kumari's Famous Dance from "Jalsaghar"

The famous Kathak dancer Roshan Kumari in an early appearance in Satyajit Ray's "Jalsaghar" (The Music Room). It just gets better and better as it progresses. Note how the bells on her ankles provide part of the rhythm...

(I made this clip by stringing together the dance scenes, removing other shots that are interspersed through the dance, so there are a few jerky splices.)
