Bharatanatyam Intensive Workshops Across India
Join me for intensive sessions designed to push your limits, refine your technique, and deepen your connection to Nritta and Abhinaya.
Mumbai, get ready for a two day Bharatanatyam workshop. This intensive session is for experienced dancers and will cover a composition featuring both abhinaya and nritta.
I am personally inviting dancers in and around Siliguri, West Bengal, for a three day intensive workshop. We will explore interesting compositions and the evolving nature of Nritta and Abhinaya.
Namaste Hyderabad. I will be in your city to conduct a workshop and perform as part of the Chaarsur Art Foundation. This video shows how you can register for the limited seats available.
We are delighted to announce the "Lalithambika Fest" in August, where Adithya PV and I will be inaugurating the festival and conducting a Bharatanatyam workshop.
Here are the full details for our Nritta Abhinaya workshop at the Lalithambika Fest in Thiruvananthapuram. This three day session will be an exploration of pure dance and expressive techniques.
About this collection
These sessions are not for those looking for a light overview. They are intensive, hands-on workshops built for dancers with a solid foundation who want to get into the weeds of Nritta and Abhinaya, so come ready to work hard and arrive 15 minutes before we start.
My Approach to Intensive Training
I believe in the power of the daily grind. When I travel for these workshops, I am not interested in surface-level teaching. Whether we are in Mumbai, Hyderabad, or Thiruvananthapuram, the goal is always to move the needle on your technical capability.
What You Can Expect
- Deep Dives: We focus on a composition, breaking down both the rhythmic complexity of Nritta and the emotional depth required for Abhinaya.
- No Shortcuts: We start on time. I value tenacity more than raw talent, so be prepared to put in the hours.
- Technical Rigour: I often co-teach with Adithya PV to ensure you get varied perspectives and high-quality feedback.
- Actionable Takeaways: You leave with a clear understanding of the technique, and in many cases, a high-quality audio recording of the composition to continue your practice at home.
Who Should Join
These workshops are designed for those with at least 6 to 8 years of dedicated practice. If you are a serious student or a performer looking to refine your repertoire or get unstuck in your progress, this environment is for you. We keep the batches intimate to ensure I can actually look at your form and provide specific corrections rather than just demonstrating from a distance.
