Course Description
Bharatanatyam is a South-Indian classical dance form featuring intricate footwork, complicated hand gestures, and elaborate facial expressions. It conveys stories and feelings through its dynamic movement that's sharp and crisp, as well as soft and elegant, depending on the essence of the depiction.
The session will start with a 10 minutes warm up which includes energetic, strength building exercises like jumping jacks, squats etc to prepare students for the movements, ensuring safety and readiness of the body. The next 20 minutes will be intense physical movements, where students learn the basic steps (64 Adavus) and hand gestures and meanings. In the next 20 minutes, students get into groups and use the steps and gestures they learnt to innovate new steps/stories and choreograph, eventually performing it for one another.
