The comparison with a Baraat procession

[edit]

I am unsure about the plausibility of such a comparison. The Baraat procession is a rather lush, wedding tradition in some parts of Northern India. The daapangkuthu I feel is far less formal, and is less integrated into the Southern Indian wedding tradition; it may be an optional, impromptu addition to a south Indian wedding procession, which itself is separate from the 'daapangkuthu-based procession' that is being implied here. I believe the statement attempting to draw an analogy between dappaankuthu and Baraat is quite a stretch, and should be omitted from the article. Splashprince 03:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting photo

[edit]

Perhaps, if possible, a short videoclip depicting this dance could be included.

Videoclip can be found in external link provided. AppleJuggler 12:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History/Origin of Dance Form

[edit]

Included several edits ago, describing how the dance form originated from the tribal group called the Narikuravas and explaining the etymology behind the word Dapaankuthu. Could someone check for the veracity of these accounts? If these information are accurate, perhaps they could be added to the article. Splashprince 11:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

125.18.125.105 (talk) 11:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)For the best of dappan kuthu, one may just watch "Annaathe aaduraar...." of Kamal Haasan's APOORVA SAGOTHARARGAL OR "Sorkkam enbadhu namakku...." of NAMMAVAR.[reply]

The basic steps

[edit]

Is the section on basic steps necessary. Consistent with the other articles in wikipedia describing the various dance style, I think the 'Basic Steps' section is unnecessary. Pls Discuss. The article all along says that no formal steps are necessary, but contradicts itself by giving the basic step. As of now, I've removed that section and cleaned up a few things to add a formal tone.

We need more photographs of musical instruments used during the performances. And we also need sources for referencing. If you can do help us with bringing this article to completion. Chez (Discuss / Email)07:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the basic steps back from an early version of the article, with a message to the effect that this is purely for beginners and that the dance being freeform as it is, dancers should feel free to do their own thing. There has been some demand for the steps to be added as shown by the comment below. -- Brhaspati\talk/contribs 04:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Basic Steps

[edit]

The basic steps was really good. It has been removed now. It clearly explained how to dance dappaankuthu. Can it be added back?

Though no formalism is needed , the basic steps gave an idea of what the dance usually looks like - it would be nice to see it back

Merger proposal(transcluded from the Tapanguchi talk page)

[edit]

This actually refers to the Dappan koothu, which is a better phonetic rendition of this Tamil word. This article anyway is orphaned and the other article is well written. I am tagging it for merge. Perhaps, if the photo is usable, it could be added to the otehr article. prashanthns (talk) 15:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Articel is too small it might be deleted so its better to move it--Suyogtalk to me! 09:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support. In the target article words in different South Indian languages should be listed.--GDibyendu (talk) 09:35, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HI Folks,

If i belive to be right, this form of dance and the name itself is orginated like in tamil it is Thappa +aana +koothu =thapanakoothu

as the ages went through word of mouth it became dappankuthu...,

remember how salli kattu became jallikattu through ages..., is that similar to malli-poo becoming delhi-poo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.144.219.77 (talk) 18:21, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dappan koothuDappankuthu – Written in Tamil as "டப்பாங்குத்து" (romanised as Dappankuthu). "Koothu" is incorrect as it refers to something else entirely.
