No reviews yet

I am a Visharad Pratham-graduated dance teacher with over 18 years of learning experience and more than 5 years of teaching experience. I instruct over 50 students in diverse group and solo settings, spanning from beginner to intermediate levels. In my teaching approach, I prioritize movements, agility, and expressive techniques, resulting in classes that my students often describe as enjoyable, interactive, informative, and creative.
I believe in giving students the proper knowledge and reasoning behind everything they do and I love when they are curious about topics. This allows for healthy discussions in class. I like to stick to the traditional methods of dance while incorporating new techniques of learning. This inculcates creativity in the students and allows them to think out of the box. All of this collectively has resulted in my students having a deep understanding towards the art form and a good foundation in Bharatnatyam and dance, in general.

    Welcome to the Bharatanatyam Basics Course, where we delve into the fundamental elements of the dance form. In this course, we will focus primarily on two essential building blocks of Bharatanatyam: Natta Adavu and Tatta Adavu.

    Natta Adavu, also known as the basic hand and footsteps, forms the cornerstone of Bharatanatyam. Through Natta Adavu, students will learn the graceful movements that lay the foundation for more complex sequences. Each step in Natta Adavu embodies the essence of Bharatanatyam, emphasizing precision, balance, and rhythm.

    Tatta Adavus, on the other hand, introduce students to the intricate footwork characteristic of Bharatanatyam. These adavus consist of a series of footsteps that require coordination, agility, and control. By mastering Tatta Adavus, students develop the dexterity and agility necessary to express the nuances of Bharatanatyam choreography.

    This course is designed to provide students with the utmost basic knowledge of Bharatanatyam's foundation. By focusing on Natta Adavu and Tatta Adavu, students will gain a solid understanding of the fundamental principles that underpin the entire dance form.

    Moreover, this course serves as an excellent starting point for those interested in exploring Bharatanatyam further. If students find joy and fulfillment in learning Natta Adavu and Tatta Adavu, they may choose to continue their journey by enrolling in our regular classes, where they will delve deeper into Bharatanatyam's rich repertoire and techniques.
