In this class, I will be teaching some basic steps of Bharatanatyam, an ancient Indian classical dance. I will demonstrate the 2-count, 3-count, 4-count steps etc as well as quick turns, jumps and hops. Students will have a chance to do these steps while I provide feedback. Finally, we will use these steps and movements and dance to an Indian classical remix of Jingle Bells created by Mahesh Raghvan, who has generously provided the permission to use his rendition. I am a patient and enthusiastic teacher. My mantra is that there is no such thing as perfection; only practice. Therefore, I encourage my students to not be afraid of mistakes and to keep trying. Prior experience in any form of dance is useful but not necessary for taking this class. If you are more curious about Bharatanatyam and its history, please check out my Intro to Bharatanatyam course: https://outschool.com/classes/a35a10a9-3ad2-403c-8af9-7975a9e9f530/schedule#usAJ2HWcnu

Parental Guidance
Safety measures:
1) Dress code: Dress comfortably in a top and loose fitting pants. Avoid tight shirts or tight pants as these will restrict movement.
2) Footwear: Please do not wear socks during the session as this might cause slipping.
2) Workout space: We will not be jumping or leaping excessively in this class. All movements will be slow to medium speed. HOWEVER, please ensure that the space is free of clutter or furniture so the student can move safely and freely. Please avoid carpeted areas to avoid friction while moving.
4) Other: Please keep a water bottle and a towel handy. Parental supervision is advised for students who have never taken a movement/dance class before.
