My First Freestyle Fusion: Mixing Contemporary with a Hint of Bharatanatyam (Feedback Welcome!)

Hey r/Dance!
I’ve been learning contemporary dance for about a year, and recently started experimenting by blending in some classical Indian dance gestures (mudras and footwork) inspired by Bharatanatyam.

This short freestyle (link below) is my first real attempt at fusing the two, I focused on emotional expression and flow rather than precision. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how the movements transition and if the fusion feels natural or disjointed.

Also, if anyone here has experience combining traditional and modern styles, how do you approach balancing authenticity with creativity?
