Bharatha Natyam

What it is? Why it is?

Bharatanatyam is an awesome dance form to learn if you have passion for fitness, increased memory power, and love for the art! It is a beautiful combination of rhythm, melody and expressions. It’s a complete exercise for the body and mind.

Bharatanatyam incorporates 3 main aspects of classical Indian dance- Nritta, Nritya and Natya. Nritta highlights movements of eyes, neck and limbs without conveying any meaning. Nritya emphasizes on artistic gestures and facial expressions giving ‘bhava’ (mood or sentiment) to the body movements. Natya signifies the visual expression of the meaning of dramatic or poetic composition being performed. A perfect combination of all three makes a majestic dance performance.

Bharatanatyam is not just a dance, but an engaging way to enhance ones physical and mental well being. When performed with absolute dedication, this could be as good as yoga. Here are a few health benefits of this dance: Concentration, Increased Memory Power, Body balance and flexibility, Stamina and endurance, Good for heart, Controlling weight, and Glowing skin.
