About Bharatanatyam
Bharatnatyam is a classical Indian dance form that is more than 2000 years old. It is an ekaharya act, where a single performer takes up many roles. The tradition was carried forward by Devadasis, young girls who devoted their lives to the service of God.
Bharatnatyam starts with an invocation song followed by alarippu – to adorn with flowers. Jatiswaram, performed on pure musical notes, is next in the act, setting the context for shabdam, a song in adoration of supreme being.
Bharatnatyam's astonishing footwork and gestures excite viewers. The performance of this dance is beneficial for the dancers' health. That is why online Bharatnatyam classes for adults are trending on google.
Various Mudras of Bharatnatyam improve the flexibility of body parts and enhance body balance. The exhaustive nature of dance form helps build stamina and a healthy heart. It is also
suitable for increasing concentration which can be used in other areas of life.
