'Alarippu' is one of the stages of which of the following Indian classical dances?

Alarippu is traditionally the opening or first item performed in a classical Bharatanatyam dance recital. It is an invocatory item that literally means 'blossoming of a flower'. It features pure rhythmic dance movements (Nritta) intended to seek blessings from God, the guru, and the audience, as well as loosen up the dancer's body.
