@@nartanaschoolofdance3014 thank u sister.how many mudras she have to learn?.

Its like a dictionary. There are single hand mudras and double hand mudras which we use to depict stories in Bharatanatyam. So mudra learning should be done along with learning steps or adavus.

Thank you for the nice words. Happy to hear about your interest in Bharatanatyam. How old are your children? All the best :)

That's so nice to hear. I hope you get right back into it and never stop again :)

Guru ma,for how many days we need to learn Thattaadavus and move onto Nattuadavus

@@dollmationtv2021 there is no set time as such. It totally depends on age maturity and other factors which will let you grasp each step and practice enough to know it completely and keep moving to the next set. When arms are introduced, you are required to learn feet first and then learn hand movements for each adavu or step.

So nice of you. Let me know if you are looking for any particular lesson :)

@@nartanaschoolofdance3014 first step started 22nd Apr 2021

Please learn systematically and consistently. All the best. Kind regards, Vrinda

Oh wow Sumita! Audition for what?

@@nartanaschoolofdance3014 yes audition for what

Hi Kasturi, That's great to hear about your interest in learning classical dance form. There is no age limit when you can start learning. The best way to learn a traditional dance form is face to face from a Guru who can correct and guide in real time. Please look to see if there is any dance school near where you live. If you do not have access to a Guru where you are, online is the next option. You can start with video lessons one by one with a lot of patience and regular practice. Hope you find a teacher to guide you and teach you this beautiful art form :)

@@nartanaschoolofdance3014 Thanks for your kind attention 🤗❤️ I will look after a dance school for sure. But then I have to wait for a few months as there is lockdown in our state and we don't really know when the situation will be normal again..... I want to invest my free time in learning Bharatnatyam in this lockdown.....and your video is really helpful to learn.... But I can't understand from where to start.....is this the lesson 1?? Or are there some videos before this also??
