Bharatanatyam Namaskar

As described in my previous post on Namaskar, this is a traditional way to start a practice or performance. As my first video, I present the Bharatanatyam Namaskar.

    Dandavats Pranams,
    I would like know if you can receive students in your Templo.
    I have 42 years old, I study Indian Cultura a short time (since 1997).
    I love indian dance. Please answer me.
    Thanks
    Namaste

    that was great. thank you so much.

    however one suggestion. after showing the movement one by one….it wud be even more helpful if u can show the entire namaskara as a continuous act as its actualy performed

    Hi anjali,

    I have some memories while i learnt music and my friends learnt b.natyam….I used to finish my class and used to love to peep into her class to see how they do the steps.

    I used to see them chanting something before doing the namaskar…… i dont know exactly… but used to be sanskrit words,,,,, i shall mention, but pardon me , as its memory thats 38 yrs old….

    archikam, bhuvanam, yasya ….. something like this and then they would do the namaskar…..

    do u have anything to confirm this???!!!!

    Hi Anjali, This is really useful…Could you please tell me how can I change my bodylanguage according to the steps.how many times do i need to practice each n every step per day.:)

  5. Anjali

    Hey Sindura, you will need a teacher in case you need corrections with the adavus. You can also try looking into the mirror and correcting yourself. once you have he corrections, you are free to practice any number of times.

    I like your website. Actually, my small daughter is attending the Bharatanatyam classes. So I want to know something about it. But when I came to know that it is more easy to learn Bharatanatyam from your website, I have download the videos from there.

    hi yes i am a student and i am about to do my arengattram and the way my guru taught me is you do the first part when you strike your legs but then we bring the hand in shikaram and bring it around our neck then we sit down and touch the floor; eyes get up and look to our right when we stretch out our hands like a straight line then so anjali above our head and then anjali on our forehead then on our chest.. thats how i was taught… and could you make a video of boomi namaskar? thx

  20. Sana

    Dear anjali mam,
    i cant see the videos of the dance eventhough i tried a lot. How can i see the videos?.is it so because i am not enrolled as a student to your course and so the videos are blocked? Please reply me..

  21. Anjali

    @Sana, my videos are all available for all. Not sure why you cant see. May be form where you are trying see youtube could be blocked.

    Hi Madam, I’m Geetha from Malaysia. I’m 26 years old and interested to learn Baratanatyam and I’ve attend to few classes but I cannot stay longer in araimandi position. My legs were not strong and start to shake after few minutes. I don’t know how to prevent it. After few classes I found that I cannot give my full attention because of my knee problem I stopped learning Baratanatyam. But I’m still interested to learn and dance baratam. Please help me !!!!! Thank you.
