## About Our Studio: In-Person Classes & Workshops

My classes are deliberately small, which allows me to work closely with every student on the finer points of their posture and rhythm. We follow the traditional Guru-Shishya Parampara style, which means you will receive direct, hands-on correction until you feel the movement as a natural extension of your own body.

Whether you are taking your first steps or refining advanced pieces, my studio provides a dedicated space for disciplined learning. We operate out of two locations, Malleswaram in Bengaluru and Kodambakkam in Chennai, designed specifically for dance.

### The Learning Process

*   **Foundations:** Beginners start with the Adavus (footwork). We spend time breaking down each rhythm and hand gesture, ensuring your foundation is stable before we move to more complex sequences.
*   **Correction & Feedback:** I use a mirror-based approach in the studio. You will often see me demonstrating, followed by specific, individual feedback on your alignment and angle. My goal is to fix the habits that cause strain so you can dance with longevity.
*   **Cultural Context:** Dance is more than physical exertion. We include theory sessions where we recite Shlokas and discuss the history behind the art form. This helps you understand the 'why' behind the 'what.'

### Practical Details

We run bi-weekly sessions to balance intensity with recovery. The studio flooring is specifically chosen for knee safety, and we maintain a supportive, non-competitive atmosphere where it is perfectly okay to make mistakes while learning. If you have previous training, we can assess your level to place you in the correct batch for your skill set.

### Preparing for the Stage

For advanced students, we focus on Margam progression. We integrate Nattuvangam practice and stamina building, preparing you for the reality of live performance.
