About the Course

The Level II course is an advanced approach to the following concepts of Bharatanatyam:

  • Anga Shudham (Body alignment): The physical structure of Bharatanatyam conceives the body in linear lines and movements in space, mostly in straight lines, triangles, or circles. After completing the Level I course, students clearly understand the upper torso alignment and the Aramandi position. Hence, in the Level II course, students will learn the techniques to use the eyes, head, and neck in coordination with body movements.
  • Adavus Level II: The basic steps of Bharatanatyam, Adavus, combine footwork and hand gestures. Students will learn the following five sets of Adavus (after completing Adavus 1 to 4 in the Level I course) in this course. They will learn to practice the Adavus at three speeds. The introduction of Khanda Jaati would further develop the understanding of Jaati. Students will be given a basic introduction to the concept of 'Jaati' (Combination of Adavus).
  • Asamyukta Hasta Viniyoga: Understanding and practising single-hand gestures. Students also learn the use of subtle facial expressions.
  • Shiro Bhedas, Drishti Bhedas & Greeva Bhedas: Understanding how to use the head, eyes, and neck in Abhinaya and Adavus.
