More distinct characteristics

• performance begins with a Thodaya mangalam in praise of Lord Gnana Sabesar of Vazhuvoor
• the dancer starts the performance while entering the stage from the wings
• static postures are performed, most often in the tillana, to break the monotony and to add the variety of rhythms
• the jati's have more korvais (intervals), which creates a suspense effect
• the dancer's torso from the waist up is stlightly bent forward
• the adavu's flow smoothly, with rare abrupt movements
• beautiful leaps are introduced into every jati
• abhinaya is subtle with more natyadharmi (spontaneous expressions), so the presentation is not "overdone"
• lasya dominates tandava
