Description:

Adv. Beginner Bharatanatyam (Ages 8+)

This class is designed for dancers who have completed a beginner level in Bharatanatyam and are ready to deepen their training. Students will continue developing adavus (basic steps), begin learning more complex combinations, and explore introductory items from the Bharatanatyam repertoire. Emphasis will be placed on posture, rhythm, precision, and expression, while building the strength and stamina needed for this classical form. This level bridges foundational skills with performance readiness, preparing dancers for intermediate study.
