Class Description: Students will begin by learning exercises that strengthen muscles and help adults build stamina for this athletic dance form. This will be followed by basic adavus (rhythmic footwork patterns), modified jathis (combination of adavus to create longer series of movements), and mudras (hand gestures). Through the course of the semester, all students will learn to enact and recite 2 ancient Sanskrit Slokas (invocatory verses to create intention for Bharathanatyam movement). The goal of the class will be to teach students to perform a 5 minute solo musical dance piece within 10-weeks.

REGISTRATION DETAILS:
- Please email me your details at subashinig@gmail.com.
- I will email you back to answer any questions you may have and provide you with an address to mail Natya Leela Academy a $70 deposit that will be applied to your semester fees (This deposit is non-refundable as it covers administrative costs).
- Please bring the remainder of your fees to first day of class.

Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you and meeting you on the dance floor!
