This Bharatnatyam Class Series is an 8-week beginner dance class series for those that want an introduction Bharatnatyam technique, an ancient and prolific South Indian dance. Through adavus (rhythmic footwork), foundational positions, mudras (codified hand gestures), and simple expressive exercises, students will explore the discipline and beauty of this vast dance language.

Class focuses on structured, repeated exercises that help build strength, coordination, focus, and stamina over time. These exercises connect the body to the earth and to music, and help us find more expression through the body. The result is a practice that feels both physically energizing and deeply centering—living in the same ecosystem as yoga.

Students are encouraged to attend multiple or all classes, but drop ins are welcome and still very valuable. Classes will repeat exercises week to week to give students a chance to return and deepen into them, while introducing new concepts and skills along the way.

All levels are welcome; no prior dance experience is required.
