BHARATANATYAM CLASSES
Aparna Keshaviah teaches the Pandanallur style of Bharatanatyam.
Her personal development of this style emphasizes rhythmic precision, contrasting crisp lines with fluid breaks, airy jumps with heavy footwork.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Bharatanatyam is an intricate, difficult dance form that demands dedication. As a classical art and cultural institution, it holds an etiquette, mindset, and gait that can take years to develop.
Through Bharatanatyam, I teach discipline, perseverence, aesthetics, and mental flexibility. In other words, students are equipped with skills for life, not just the classroom.
With consistent practice and concerted effort, students will imbibe a new movement vocabulary and discover depth of expression.
