Bharatanatyam, is a highly structured and intricate classical art form with a rich history rooted in tradition. The essence of Bharatanatyam lies in its precise technique, graceful expression, and spiritual depth, which require not only physical discipline but also deep emotional involvement. It is through formal training under the guidance of a “GURU” and with consistent, rigorous practice that one can master this art.
Learning Bharatanatyam, especially its intricate footwork and abhinaya (expressional dance), demands dedication and guidance. It is a dance form that involves a significant amount of physical and mental effort, and is often more challenging when performed in its entirety with musical coordination. This is a humble attempt to offer Bharatanatyam classes online for those aspiring individuals who are committed to learning this art form.
In today’s world, where time and geographical distances often create barriers, we are fortunate to have computers and the internet, allowing us to transcend these challenges and access online classes. Through this platform, students can begin their journey of Bharatanatyam from the basics, advancing toward proficiency at their own pace, while maintaining the essence of the traditional teaching methods.
As one embarks on learning Bharatanatyam, the growth trajectory involves several stages: Basic footwork (Adavus), simple movements (Mudras), enhancing expression (Abhinaya), learning items like Jatiswarams and Varnams, performing full-fledged Krithis, and eventually progressing to more advanced solo performances and compositions. The ‘laya’ (rhythm) and ‘srajanam’ (creative expression) aspects are gradually developed through practice and continued learning. The online classes are designed to take the student from foundational techniques to mastery in Bharatanatyam.
