BHARATANATYAM TRAINING
CLASSICAL DANCE OF INDIA
Accredited dance training program
PNEUMA DANCE opens the updated and complete training in Bharatanatyam, which will help you to approach and experience the high potential of physical, psychological and emotional transformation, through movement, prayer, beauty and joy.
Based on the ancient text Natya Shastra, Bharatanatyam is defined as one of the oldest and purest Indian classical dance forms.
Developed and nurtured in the temples of South India, this dance is deeply spiritual and steeped in the religion, mythology and philosophy of Indian traditions. It is recognized as one of the arts that protects all the wisdom of sacred knowledge for the awakening of consciousness.
