Kuchipudi is a Classical Indian dance from Andhra Pradesh. It is also popular all over South India. Vachika abhinaya (use of words or dialogues) is a special feature of the Kuchipudi style. Bharatanatyam is a classical Indian dance form that originated in the temples of South India. Dancing on brass plate is a feature of Kuchipudi and not Bharatnatyam.
