Make this acrobat dance on your fingertip. 
You will card sheet, broomstick, glue, thread and other odd things. 
Take a doubled up card sheet for the arms and body. 
The legs and the hands are single. 
Cut the doubled up shoulder and body. 
Cut the single arms and legs.
Place body on rubber and make needle holes on the dots.
Similarly, make holes on all the dots. 
Open the double body; apply glue and stick a broom stick.
Then fold the body.
Take the shoulder arm and shoulder and join them with a needle and a thread.
Make knots on both sides.
This way you make a hinge so the arm and body can move relative to each other.
Similarly join shoulder to body with a double knot.
In this way join all body parts with needle and thread.
Now, the acrobat is ready.
You can see the legs and the arms can all move.
Decorate and paint your Acrobat with bright colors. 
The Acrobat is now ready to dance.
This is the FRONT part.
Rotate to see the REAR.
On twirling the stick the Acrobat will move its hands and legs – executing a dance.
Later the Acrobat finds a friend – a BHARATNATYAM dancer.
She is beautiful and has got a long braid.
Once again twirl the stick to see a very graceful BHARATNATYAM dancer. This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
