When I had started this blog , I had asked a question “Can we learn Bharatanatyam online“? Now around one and half years later, I can say with certain degree of confidence that Yes, we can!
As requested by few of our readers, I have been doing some online classes and it has been going very well ! I have taught students by traditional means in school and also privately. Now, I am teaching online and feel that the online method of imparting this knowledge is some times better! Note that this is still a Guru-Shishya (teacher-student) learning, the only difference being that the students are not physically present before me.
Here are the advantages I have seen so far with the online methodology I am following:
Quicker Learning: I have been able to chalk out a curriculum so that students refer to the online Videos/Posts and prepare themselves before they present themselves for the classes. This has meant that the students pick up things much quicker!
Efficient: From a students perspective, the one to one online methodology I have been following so far is more efficient. In traditional classes where a group is generally taught, the pace of learning is decided by the speed at which the majority in the group can pick up the skills. In the online classes, the student decides the pace to their requirement.
Customized: Since the classes are one to one sessions, the course can be customized to needs of individual students. This helps people to start their classes from basic, intermediate or advanced levels.
Convenience: The student can choose to take their classes from anywhere! They can opt to be at home (which is generally the case) but can also continue the lessons even if traveling briefly. All that is needed is the laptop, cam and mic!
Access: I have heard from many readers especially those living outside India that they do not have access to any teacher. The online classes makes it possible to reach out and help such students.
Continuity: The Guru-Shishya link has lesser chance of being broken. The online classes continues the relationship even if the teacher or student is relocating. The interruption in sessions is generally brief even if there are any.
There are some cons largely technical (like internet availability, cam/mic issues etc) but the pros so far far outweigh the cons!

Thanks in advance
Good morning,
thank you the site, i have learnt a lot with youe on line lessons.
I would like still learning by on line method, but how could i do ?
Hi Anjali ji,
I am so happy to see this site and at the same time i am so angry with myself.why didnt i see this site earlier. I left my dance about nearly 7 years ago, Due to my work as I was working in a shift basis. I got married about a year ago and looking for a master to teach me back. Unfortunately, the place that i am staying do not have a proper bharathanatyam master. They don’t really bother bout the mudras and your hand positions.My prev master is very concerned on the mudras and bhavas. he gives attention to Each and every small details of your dance movements
I am pregnant now n i just found this website. Can I dance back after i gave birth and after how long should i start? I really want to learn this art . I am 32 now. I started my first class when i was 21years old. I know some of them who advised me that if you r getting older , you cant be flexible but i don’t care. I believe that you must have passion to achieve from impossible to possible.
I would love to keep in touch with you and join as soon as possible.
I am interested in your online class and was wondering how I can be part of the classes and how much it would cost. Thank you.
Dear Madam,
This is first time I am visiting this site and I think it’s wonderful for foreigners like me who just like in Bharathanatyam. I have completed B.A in Bharathanatyam. I would like to continue in M.A in Bharathanatyam, so could you please let me know about it.
Your sincerely,
Janani.

Hey,
I am a huge fan. I am in the USA and it is impossible to find a dance class within convenience.
I have learnt Bharatanatyam for five years as a kid and I would say I hardly remember much. Would you be interested in coaching me online? I will definitely be faster than a beginner.
Soumya
i am a trained bharatnatyam dancer of many years.. Due to where i live (remote area in aus) i am unable to go to dance class, although it is my passion.
Would love for someone to teach me new routines.
Please send info.

Hi Anjali,
I am living in Belgium. I have a strong passion for dance and I learned classical dance from 6years till my 15 years. But then I discontinued. So its been 12 years now. But now I would like to practice again. Can you help me?
How can I get the audio and video to practice?
No need of basics. Any one bharathanatyam audio and video is enough.
Thanks,
