Level 1-9

The Level 1–9 Bharatanatyam course by Ashwini Jedhe offers a comprehensive journey through the art of Bharatanatyam, guiding students from beginner foundations to Arangetram (debut performance). The program emphasizes technical precision, expressive storytelling (Abhinaya), and stage readiness, ensuring dancers develop mastery in Nritta (pure dance), Nritya (expressive dance), and Natya (dramatic performance).

Level 1–3 introduces the history, spiritual significance, and basic postures (Aramandi, Samapadam), foundational Adavus (Tatta, Natta, Visharu), basic Hastas (hand gestures), and simple storytelling sequences. Students develop rhythm, coordination, and initial expression skills.

Level 4–6 focuses on Jathis (rhythmic sequences), Karanas (dynamic poses), alankaras (ornamental movements), Padams, Varnams, and Keerthanams, refining footwork, rhythm, and improvisation. Learners gradually master complex talas and begin choreographing small pieces, enhancing stamina, grace, and expressive depth.

Level 7–9 prepares dancers for stage performance and Arangetram, practicing full-length Varnams, Javalis, and Tillanas, along with costume, makeup, and stage presence. Students achieve mastery in Bhava (expression), Tala (rhythm), and storytelling, culminating in a grand debut performance that celebrates their dedication and skill.

This structured progression ensures dancers of all levels embody the essence of Bharatanatyam, combining discipline, artistry, devotion, and a profound understanding of Indian classical dance traditions.
