Bharatanatyam Class Structure
Bharatanatyam classes follow a structured format, encompassing warm-up exercises, practical dance instruction, theory lessons, and cool-down sessions.
Learning Bharatanatyam draws from numerous fields such as music, rhythm, body practices such as Yoga and conditioning, history, language, theatre, improvisation, critical thinking and so much more.
Bharatanatyam Resources for Students
In addition to in-person instruction, students are equipped with a variety of resources to enhance their learning experience. These resources include comprehensive theory books, personalised video recordings, and access to online platforms that seamlessly integrate traditional teaching methods with contemporary learning tools.

At Nrityasagara, we understand the importance of personalised bharatanatyam education. We focus on creating small, focused classes where each student is assessed and placed into age-appropriate groups to ensure they receive the attention and instruction they need to thrive. This approach enhances learning, improves student confidence, and creates a more cohesive class environment.

This holistic approach ensures that students have ample support and resources to deepen their understanding of Bharatanatyam.
Beginner
For beginners, the journey starts with learning "Adavus," which serve as the foundational units of Bharatanatyam. They gradually progress through the stages of "Adavus", developing their understanding of the fundamentals including body positioning.
Intermediate
Intermediate students focus on refining their foundational skills and advancing to learning compositions. They concentrate on the components of "Nritta" (movements), "Nritya" (expression) and “Natya” (drama & story telling) , with continued emphasis on theory to deepen their understanding.
Advanced
Advanced students further hone their abilities by mastering intricate repertoire pieces, further develop their technique and knowledge, along with developing choreography skills.
