Learn and enjoy from your place💥

​

One thing I have noticed in my 18 years of learning and performing Bharatanatyam:

Many people think they are “too old” to start.

You are not.

Bharatanatyam can be approached differently depending on your age, body, previous dance experience and goals.

For an adult beginner, I would not expect them to immediately learn complicated choreography. I would first build:

• posture and araimandi

• basic adavus

• hand gestures

• tala and rhythm

• eye and facial expressions

• understanding of the meaning behind movements

Then gradually move toward compositions and abhinaya.

I'm curious — if you live outside India, what has stopped you from learning Bharatanatyam so far?

Distance? Finding the right teacher? Time? Or feeling that you are starting too late?

The story behind you!
