About the event

After five thousand years, the Bharatanatyam dance retains its high potential for transformation for the human being through movement, prayer, beauty and joy. Through gestures and pantomime, dance approaches theatricality while maintaining its devotional character, a playful experience that reveals to us how spirituality is a practice and the body an expressive, spontaneous, pleasurable and healing vehicle.

This Workshop is aimed at anyone interested in getting closer to the Classical Dance of India in particular to the Bharatanatyam Dance.

The Workshop offers an introduction to the Bharatanatyam style through the study of the fundamental units of movement (adavu) and the different expressive techniques (abhinaya). No previous Indian dance/theater experience is required to participate.

Shamti Ruiz, its founder, wants to share her 27 years of studying and teaching the spiritual message of dance that she has acquired in countries of Europe, USA, India and Egypt.

It will be a magical day together with this incredible teacher and dancer, who will open up her extensive and precious knowledge of dance, yoga, beauty and devotion.
