Through sitting choreography and the depth of Abhinaya, I bring stories to life using only my hands and expressions, perfect for intimate gatherings or spaces where movement is limited. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A sitting performance telling the story of a 'Sakhi' sharing her deepest feelings.

My sitting routines focus entirely on hand mudras and facial expressions to narrate a story. This approach is perfect for senior citizens, traditional brides wanting a graceful, seated entry, or even compact living rooms where a full dance floor is not possible. ### The Power of Abhinaya Dance is not just about the feet; it's about the soul. *Abhinaya* is the art of expression, and it allows me to convey complex emotions—what we call the *Navras*—even while seated. Whether I am telling the story of Radha’s longing or a playful piece about childhood memories, the focus is on subtlety and grace. ### Why Choose Sitting Choreography? This style is surprisingly versatile and effective for several scenarios: * **Intimate Events:** Perfect for small halls or living room gatherings where space is at a premium. * **Limited Mobility:** A wonderful way for senior citizens or individuals with limited movement to express themselves joyfully. * **Bridal Entries:** Brides often choose this for a slow, elegant entry that focuses on expressions and hand gestures rather than high-energy movement. ### How We Work Together I want you to feel confident and beautiful while you perform, regardless of your dance background. Every booking includes 3 physical coaching sessions of 60 minutes each. We will go through the choreography step-by-step, focusing on hand placements and facial storytelling. To make your home practice easier, I also provide a close-up reference video so you can perfect your mudras at your own pace. Whether you are in Mumbai or looking for me to travel for your event, I am here to help you tell your story through movement. ## About Bijal Dedhia Namaste! I'm Bijal.
