“Bharathanatyam is a divine art. It’s a form of yoga from top to toe where the movements are synchronized to perfection. And you are fit as from inside you are emoting historical and mythological stories and you feel energetic.”

BHARATHANATYA CLASSES – KALAKSHETRA STYLE.
Classes are held for a duration of one hour for each lesson. Every class will commence with physical exercises to enable the students to warm up, increase flexibility and sustain complex dance postures.

 

The practical dance curriculum will include Adavus (67) and complete Margam (Pushpanjali, Alaripu, Jathiswaram, Shabdham, Varnam, Padam, Ashtapathi, Thevaram, Keerthanam, and Thillana). On successful completion of the above, students will be eligible to stage their Arangetram under the guidance of their Guru.

 

Dance theory will be distributed on printed handouts and explained accordingly. In addition to this, an understanding of the music and Talam in relation to the lyrics, melody and rhythm of the relevant songs, will be taught.

 

The students of the Institute or any other individuals who intend on participating in any cultural programs outside of those hosted by the Institute, can also be trained.
