This isn't just about ensuring you get floor space; it allows for dedicated, one-on-one postural corrections on your *adavus* (footwork) and *hastha mudras* (hand gestures). When you train here, we focus on the subtle swaying movements of *Andolika* that define the Bharati Shivaji style. ### Our Approach to Mohiniyattam Learning Mohiniyattam is a process, not a race. We start with the foundation—the *adavu* techniques—ensuring your stance and rhythm are solid before we move into complex choreography. Our sessions run for 60 to 75 minutes, providing enough time to warm up, practice, and receive individual feedback from the Guru. We believe that dance happens when the dancer disappears, so our teaching balances rigorous physical conditioning with the spiritual essence of the art. ### What You Will Learn Our curriculum follows the Bharati Shivaji style. Beginners start by mastering the basics of footwork (*Chuvadusadhakam*) and body movement. As you progress, we introduce you to the narrative depth of the dance, focusing on *Abhinaya* (expression) and the spiritual history of the compositions. If you are training for a long-term goal like an Arangetram, we provide a structured roadmap that covers everything from your training and choreography to coordinating the live orchestra for your solo debut. ### The Kalari Environment Our studio in Gottigere is more than just a practice hall. It is a shared space where we value community as much as technique. You will find students of all ages learning side-by-side, creating a supportive environment where peer learning is encouraged. We also host internal jam sessions and celebrate festivals like Vijayadashami together. If you are looking for a space in Bangalore that treats you as family while upholding the integrity of traditional Mohiniyattam, you have found your home here. ### Practical Details - **Schedule:** Twice a week, with 8 classes per month. - **Location:** Samarpana Mohiniyattam Kalari, Gottigere. - **What to bring:** Comfortable practice saree. ## About Samarpana We started Samarpana in 2018 as a way to share our love for Mohiniyattam with the Bangalore community.
