DVD Natyarambham- Learning Adavus in Bharatanatyam

Today I am happy to announce that we are ready to release the first part of our DVD on Adavus, the basic steps in Bharatanatyam. It’s been almost a year we have been working on this. We are calling the DVD as” Natyarambham- Learning Adavus in Bharatanatyam Part 1“. The first part covers

  1. Tatta Adavu,
  2. Natta Adavu,
  3. Visharu Adavu
  4. Tatti Metti Adavu
  5. Teermanam Adavu.

Our second DVD is called Natyarambham-Learning Advaus in Bharatanatyam -Part 2. It consists of

  1. Kuditta Metta Adavu
  2. Sarikal Adavu
  3. Sutral Adavu
  4. Jaati Advau
  5. Mandi Advau

 

I had many visitors to the site asking for a compilation of the youtube videos. Instead of giving them the current videos, we decided to redo all of them so that you get better value . We have reworked  all the adavus on the Blog to give you a more content and consistency. I have added a few more tips and closeups of all the leg movements. This should give a clear demonstration of the intricate footwork.

Some of the highlights and benefits of the DVD:

More content:  All the videos have been retaken and we have more details for each Adavu.

New Updated Videos: Updated all the demo videos based on my 5 plus years of teaching online. Tips and correction are given at the required places.

All steps with you always: Whether offline or online, DVD should be a great way to have all the step in one place.

Close up: We have all the footwork in close-up so that it is easy to understand and follow along.

How to use the DVD

For each Adavu, I have talked about the concept at the beginning. It moves on to showing the hand movements. The student can try doing the movements along with my explanation. Then the footwork is explained , which is also a practice along. You may pause the video after the footwork and try working on the hand and footwork until it is mastered. Then play the video again and practice along with the synchronized movements.  The steps are demonstrated in a slow or medium speed depending on the complexity of the variation. Once the student has worked on one step with video , stop/pause and practice the same for some more time before moving to the next variation.

  21. Nandayi

    I have this DVD and it is a blessing. I bought a lot of other bharatanatyam dance DVDs that were supposed to be for beginners and they all seemed to be so advanced, starting the videos with moves that seem impossible to a novice.

    Anjali, your instruction through this site and the DVD is the best I’ve found on this beautiful dance form. Thanks for making it easy for me to get started.

    It makes me feel more grounded and my samyama practice has also become easier since beginning. Thank you.
