Bharatnatyam Classes

Bharatanatyam, one of India’s most revered classical dance forms, traces its origins to Tamil Nadu. Rooted in devotion, it beautifully portrays South Indian religious themes, particularly those of Shaivism, while also reflecting broader aspects of Hinduism and Jainism. This dance form seamlessly blends Natya (dramatic storytelling), Nritta (rhythmic movements), and Nritya (expressive dance) to create a mesmerizing performance.

The name Bharatanatyam comes from Sanskrit, where ‘Bharata’ symbolizes Bhava (emotion), Raga (melody), and Tala (rhythm), while ‘Natyam’ means dance. This fusion of expression, music, and rhythm defines the art form. Dancers maintain a poised upper body, bent legs in the signature Aramandi posture, and execute intricate footwork combined with graceful hand gestures, expressive eye movements, and facial expressions.
