Lasya Thandava

Lasya
Dance performed by Goddess Parvati is known as Lasya.

 Lasya,  gentle, graceful yet erotic movements.
For Some scholars call Lasya, the feminine version of Tandava.  Lasya is of two kinds - Jarita Lasya and Yauvaka Lasya.
According to the Puranas, Shiva dances a wild and vigorous  tandava dance in the cremation grounds at night but dances a soft and graceful lasya)dance in the tranquility.

There is also Rudrda Thandava which is again wild and santha thandava which is gentle.
