Bharatnatyam is my
favourite dance. This comprises of a 7 year rigorous practice and exam to get
the final course completion. This dance has taught me so much. To be disciplined,
to be perfect and more importantly keeps me agile , flexible and healthy.
It also teaches us the
importance of Guru. We begin and end the class with a namaskaram step always.
Our guru is at times very strict but we admire her dance and perfection with
which she teaches us. There was a time when the world entered pandemic stage
and we had to do our classes online too. It was because of her excellent
teaching skills we were able to understand the difficult steps and we continue doing
one class online still.
We have this annual stage
performance every year and we really enjoyed doing that yesterday. We had so
many performances and participants from various areas of Mumbai. The performance was at 5.30pm and we had to
reach the venue for make-up and costume and hair dressing by professionals at
2.30 pm. With so much enthusiasm we actually enjoyed these hours and never felt
tired. The programme also got over on time at 9 pm. I told you this teaches us
punctuality and great discipline in life.
When all the
participants were together on stage it was a mesmerizing experience you will agree.
We had amazing pious beautifully trained classical singers and we performed on stage. Am putting a small glimpse here for you to enjoy it too. Am sure, you will be inspired to learn this too.
The article has described the Indian dance form beautifully!!
