Akasha Caris (Chaaris) by Surabhi Bharadwaj

Akasha Chaaris are movements of the lower body that involve leaps, jumps, and lifts. This practice video showcases the 16 Akasha Chaaris, where the feet move off the ground. . The audio used here is from Dr. Padma Subrahmanyam’s Karanaprakaram DVD. But, I prefer not to use any music to practice the chaaris. My approach is to repeat each chaari several times to refine the movement. Hopefully, with continued practice, I’m able to gain more control in these movements someday. 📹: Abhinav Athreya #revisitingkaranas #caris #charis #karanas #natyasastra #natyashastra #drpadmasubrahmanyam #karanaprakarana #dance #dancer #dancersofinstagram #artheals #stayhome #staysafe #quarantinelife #indianclassicaldance #indiandance #indian #bharatanatyam
