Looking for Bharatanatyam classes near me? Join online Bharatanatyam classes today. Bharatanatyam dance classes by the best Bharatanatyam teachers.
Courses begin with understanding the origins of Bharatanatyam and its three basic elements: Nritta, Nritya, and Natya. Meanings behind several movements will be taught which include hand gestures, eye movements, foot positions, and many more. Several rhythm patterns which are necessary for every Bharatanatyam class will also be covered. Basic physical exercises and poses before moving on to basic Tattadavu and Sarikkal Adavu. Several other Adavus will be covered during the entire duration of the course. There will be several other lessons that include techniques and practices such as Krithi and Thillana, Carnatic music compositions, and their accompanying movements. Students will also be briefly taught abhinaya, the Indian art of aesthetic expression.
For a complete beginner from the Bay area, learning Bharatanatyam can be completely new. It is difficult to learn any Indian classical dance form just through videos. You need complete guidance from a dance master to fix your mudras and learn Adavus the right way. Students usually start by learning a bit about the origins of Bharatanatyam. Then the teacher usually delves into performing the art form. For a beginner, you need nothing more than a willingness to learn Bharatnatyam online. It can be quite painful to practice Adavus, which is the foot movements initially. But in 3-4 months, students will enjoy the process thoroughly.
