Frequently asked questions

What is Bharatnatyam?

Bharatnatyam is one of the oldest and most revered classical dance forms of India, originating in the temples of Tamil Nadu. Rooted in devotion and storytelling, it was traditionally performed by temple dancers as an offering to the deities. The dance is known for its fixed upper torso, bent legs (aramandi posture), rhythmic footwork, intricate hand gestures (mudras), and expressive facial movements that together convey spiritual themes, mythological stories, and emotions. Today, Bharatnatyam is a powerful blend of art, discipline, and expression, offering a deep connection to Ancient culture while fostering grace, focus, and confidence in its practitioners.
