Bharatanatyam Lesson 1 - Thattadavu 1 - 8

Srishti Productions and Srishti School of Classical Dance (Kuwait) has initiated a new project beneficial for Bharatanatyam dancers - “ Sampoornam - The complete guide to Bharatanatyam Adavus” that aims to compile all the Bharatanatyam Adavus in a sequential order with high quality audio and videography which will be released over 15 weeks covering 70 different adavus of Bharatanatyam. This is to encourage the students, teachers and parents to realize the importance of knowing the basics and will serve as a reference guide of the adavus. In the Thattadavu lesson,all adavus except 8 are done in Adi thalam. The 3rd thattadavu can be done in Rupaka thalam also. The avarthanams for each speed in the adavu are minimal so that the dancer can complete the practice without much struggle and will act as a motivation in the initial stages.
