Bridging Sastra and Prayoga in Bharatanatyam

Integrating ancient theory with contemporary practice for a holistic dance experience.

Understanding Bharatanatyam: Where Theory Meets Practice

Bharatanatyam, the classical dance form of Tamil Nadu, beautifully weaves together the intricate philosophies of Sastra (theory) and the expressive depth of Prayoga (practice). This course offers a holistic journey into this duality, guiding students through the foundational texts, aesthetic principles, and practical expressions that define the art form.

Through an integrated approach of study and performance, learners will develop both intellectual insight and artistic proficiency—bridging the gap between knowledge and expression to truly embody the spirit of Bharatanatyam.
