How many times have we watched those graceful dance movements on stage during a Bharatnatyam performance and wished we knew how to recreate them ourselves or at least understand the nuances behind the movement? Well, with this two-day workshop, we have a chance to pick up at least the basics of understanding what this ancient dance form is about.
This workshop is conducted by Nandini Ganesan, an artiste, choreographer and dancer associated with the Kalasadan Institute of Fine Arts here in Mumbai, where she teaches professionally.

Day two, you can expect a glimpse into the emotive aspect of dance and at the end of it, hopefully have a better understanding of what those beautiful hand movements and expressions really mean. Both days are interactive sessions and there’s a chance to ask questions during the Q&A session.
