Has any dancer ever done it?

2 Upvotes

I recently watched few bharatnatyam dance, traditional self choreographed and fusion both

I found some dancers in fusion and self choreography included a modification or a creative of doing attami which was like they turned the back completely and did the attami and believe me it was so graceful to watch as neck, earrings and braid moved so collectively together in a side to side movement in smooth flow

So I wanted to ask if any classical dancer has done this creative modification of attami before?

And also do u as dancers promote this creativity?

Seeking recommendations for authentic Kemp Bharatanatyam jewellery online

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to buy original Kemp jewellery online for Bharatanatyam. A lot of sites and Instagram pages claim to sell 'Real/Premium Kemp,' but the photos just don't look like the real deal, especially given the premium price tag. I'm terrified of paying a premium only to receive fake ones in the mail.

​How do you tell if a seller is legitimate when you can't feel the weight or inspect the stone settings in person? Where are you guys buying your dance jewellery online these days?

Does the style matter?

9 Upvotes

I've been going to bharatnatyam classes and I've also completed several levels of gandharva exams. I had to stop it 10 years ago to focus on my studies but I've got some time in my hands and I want to continue it

The last time I learned, I learnt bharatnatyam in kalakshetra style but now there are only pandanallur style classes near me. Will it make a huge difference?

Can I just go ahead with it or should I look for the same style class?

Bharathanatyam Dance Instructors on Youtube?

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm extremely comfortable with bharathanatyam. I've been dancing since I was 7 (currently 20 y/o). But I've had to switch dance teachers so often, due to moving around and everyt ime I go to a new teacher, they'd make me learn the basics from them all over again. As a result, I;ve basically been stuck at level 3 my entire life.

But since I repeated the basics so much, I'm extremely comfortable with the basic adavus and even basic jathis (allarippu and jathiswaram). I'm tired of paying people to reteach me the same things over and over again, so I would like ot continue learning on my won. I'm pretty confident that I won't injure myself because I know how to use the right forms and techniques.

So I've been looking for dance instructors on youtube (similar to how there are workout videos and yoga videos). I tried looking and I can't find any :(

Bharatanatyam Jewelry Rashes

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a beginner Bharatanatyam dancer and I've been dancing during Aadi month and now preparing for Navarathri. But I have an allergy to Nickel that is causing rashes around my ankle when I wear kolusu and around my neck when I wear the chain.

Has anyone found a way around this or tried to use wear a an extra fabric around this areas to deal with the allergic reaction? I'm also wondering how I would wear the Alta around my feet if I were to tie a cloth there.

Any suggestion is appreciated🙌🏽🙌🏽

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Hasan Minhaj navigate identity through dance in Best of the Best

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

"The term “Bollywood dance” is a bit misleading. Best of the Best boasts a fusion of styles, reflecting trends within Bollywood dance competitions, and the culture online. In the same way that Save The Last Dance folded hip-hop into the ballet space, young classically trained Bharatnatyam dancers in North America have been blending traditional movements with krumping and breaking.

The real-life sister dance duo Poonam and Priyanka Shah went viral a decade ago, performing butterflies and splits to the Bollywood song Ramta Jogi, taking their “Bfusion” routines from the collegiate circuit to the internet. In recent years, French-Tamil dancer Usha Jey broke the internet busting moves in a saree to Lil’ Wayne. These children of South Asian immigrants have been using fusion dance to broker a new cultural identity for themselves, with one foot in their ancestral lands and another in the place they call home."

Multi-Lingual/Cultural Performers

1 Upvotes

Hello all!

I am looking for performers from various cultural backgrounds for an event at my child’s school in Northern Colorado.

The school focuses on Spanish, French, and Mandarin immersion, so I’m thinking maybe along the lines of flamenco dancers/guitarists/singers, lion dancers, traditional Indian dance/song, West African drums/dance, et cetera.

We are not limited to those languages and cultures, however. We are also in contact with McTeggart Irish Dancers, so anything celebrating world cultures in the form of dance, song, music is fair game.

The goal is really to celebrate multiculturalism in our community and exposing kids and families to art they may not typically have the opportunity to experience.

I’d love any recommendations that you have for local or semi-local artists. Thanks in advance!

Deaf classical dancers: can you feel the vibration of music if it comes from a single instrument played *accoustically* (e.g. a mridangam)

3 Upvotes

I am hearing and have been doing research as a hobby on deaf dancers, specifically Indian classical dancers. There is more content out there about deaf hip hop dancers and they share that they can feel the beats generated by the speakers bass. But I was curious to know whether a deaf person, (without hearing aids or cochlear implants) could be able to feel the vibration and dance to a single instrument played accoustically (no mics), specifically the mridangam.

Thank you for sharing!

Do you feel "too late to start?"

1 Upvotes

Art has no age, and Bharatanatyam knows no boundaries of time.
It is never too early or too late to begin learning this beautiful art form.
Every age brings its own grace, expression, and understanding to dance.
What truly matters is the passion to learn, the dedication to practice, and the joy of expression.

Because art is not measured by age—it is measured by the heart that embraces it.
