During this workshop, you will be offered an introduction to the techniques and basic principles of Indian Classical dance with elements of rhythm and mime. We will warm up before learning some Adavu, the basic step of pure rhythmic dance, and some Mudra, hand gestures, in BharataNatyam style. You will learn how the hand, face, body gestures and movements are used by the dancer to bring alive any poem, song or text. You will also learn the Shlokam, that means “prayer”, on Shiva.<\/p>\n
