About the event
Our meeting day will begin with a relaxing reset of our nervous system through traditional Hatha Yoga, gentle stretching, pranayama and a short meditation. Dance conditioning will prepare our bodies for the practice of the Adavus and the steps that will become more complex to explore various rhythms and playful nritta compositions. Our next session will explore the abhinaya aspect of Indian classical dance: acting out/expressing meaning in a beautiful shloka (devotional verse). In addition and in the afternoon will be our 2-hour “theory” class focusing on practical and theoretical aspects of Hasta Mudra (hand positions) in Indian dance.
