Bharatanatyam Classes for Children



Explore, Experience and Engage with Bharatanatyam at Gulmohar Days..!!!

We bring you a structured and well-designed course in the classical dance form of Bharatanatyam. Dance is an all encompassing art form, linked with music, literature, drawing-painting, sculpting and theatre.  The focus of this course is to teach Bharatanatyam dance technique along with an introduction to other fine arts. This course is designed in three phases. The course will be executed through practical and theory classes, combined with other art activities, demonstrations, watching dance films and watching live performances. Throughout this course students will have many opportunities to perform for their fellow students and parents.
