Each class will last 60 minutes with 50 minutes of instruction and 10 minutes for warm-up, note taking and wrapping up.

 

Students can be enrolled from the age of 5. Adult and Senior students are also welcome.  Classes will be organized as follows:

 

Beginners – Adavus to Allarippu

Intermediate – Jatiswaram, Shabdam, Keertanam and Thillana

Advanced – Varnams, Padams etc.

 

Progression from one level to the next will vary depending on the student’s abilities and is at the sole discretion of the instructor.

 

Enrollment  

All prospective students will be interviewed personally prior to enrollment in order to assess their readiness and to answer any questions regarding the Bharathanatyam course.  An overview of the approach to Bharathanatyam instruction will be given at that time.

 

Students with previous experience will be evaluated to discover where they are with respect to each aspect of Bharathanatyam study. This will allow them to be placed in the most appropriate group.
