Bharatanatyam originated in Tamil Nadu (south), while Kuchipudi originated in Andhra pradesh (mid-east).
Bharatanatyam devotes a lot of focus to the "aramandi" position, or half-sit. Kuchipudi dancers do not sit as low to the ground.
Kuchipudi is thought of as the element of earth, while BN is the element of fire.
KP has some unique qualities that BN doesn't have, and vise versa. For example, some items in Kuchipudi involve dancing on a brass plate (Tarangam).
Steps in BN are known for being very precise and rhythmic, while KP can be more rounded.
And finally, there is some difference in the temple dress: BN skirt has three fans of differing length and KP usually has one fan longer than all the rest.
Hope that helps!
