  Hi Anjali,
  I came to Bangalore from Maharashtra for job reasons and am fascinated by the dance traditions of the south. I see dance recitals and feel them eye-pleasing, but your demonstrations have helped me understand some finer details, so that i can appreciate the performances in a better way. thanks a lot.
  And yes, you look pretty in that simple dance costume. kudos!

  thank you so much for the video and i actually understood it really well. i was wondering whether you could do another video of meiya adavu if it is alright with you and i am in grade 3. i’m not forcing you to do this but just asking whether you would be able to.

  @Swati, your teacher can explain it to your better, since you need to understand the mathematics behind it.

  Hi Anjali,

  Love your videos and appreciate the work you are doing. I was wondering about the raaga of Alarippu. Can you please let me know in which raaga or thaalam (I hope I am saying it right) is this Alarippu.

  Thanks.

  Hi Anjali. I have learnt this amazing dance for 10 years of my life but after marriage and moving from country to country I haven’t been performing or practicing much. I love your site and your way of spreading the knowledge. Keep up the good work.

  hi, i am trying to learn bharatanatyam and this site is really really helpful, i have a 4 year old daughter who is interested so would you think that this site would be a good start for my little Chittu?

• 16 Anjali Sep 21, 2010 at 8:56 am

  @prikanshka, Thank you. You can try teaching her, looking at the videos. If your little one really shows interest and is delighted to dance you can enroll her to a good dance school in your area.

• 17 Prikanshka Devi Sep 21, 2010 at 2:23 pm

  Thanks so much!!!! She really has a knack for the dance and i think she would be an excellent student when she gets older. I will try to teach her from your videos until she is around 6 then I will enroll her into a school.

  Hi Anjali,
  Thanks for providing this piece. Can you tell me where I can find the bols (syllables) to Alarippu. I know you recite them in the video, but I would like the written. I tried to write them down while following you along in the video, but it is just too hard. If you know where I can find the bols to other dance steps too, that would be great too. Thanks

  Hey Anjali,
  I have always wondered, How you can recognize differences between Dance styles like Tanjavoor style or Mysore Style? I tried reading about them in Lasya ranjana and few other books but still unclear. Could you please share your thoughts on different dance styles? thanks

  Hello Anjali, I was glad to find your videos when I was looking for BharatNatyam dances online. I did my Arangetram some ten years ago, and have almost forgotten most of it. But I would like to recall and relearn, so could you suggest where I could find them online? My work leaves me little time to join classes, so I mostly practise early mornings or late nights.

  Hi there =)
  I Really love bharatnatyam but i was never able to find a place to get lessons so i took it upon myself to find way to learn natyam on the internet. I am starting with alarippu first because I feel it would be a good start. Thanks to you i have a greater understanding of how to preform alrippu but my love for classical dance still remains a secret. How exactly would one want to reveal a secret to their family who is mainly of doctors and computer engineers?
