Health and Bharatanatyam

Bharatanatyam is an amazing dance form to absorb if you need passion for fitness 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.
