Attention Bharatanatyam dancers/lovers!

Navatman brings to you a Bharatanatyam-filled weekend (July 30 - Aug 1)) where you can

  • Hone your technique & develop stamina, grace, and precision

  • Improve strength and flexibility for injury prevention

  • Dig into adavus and combinations to develop your technique

  • Learn small compositions to delve more into vocabulary and repertoire



If you have missed attending in-person classes & meeting new people, here’s your chance for an intimate learning experience - 8 in-person slots only!* Classes will be held live in our studio, with the option to join in via Zoom.


Bonus: an open mic night, a performance by the teachers, and a group meal (for in-person attendees) on the last day


*Note that in-person attendees must be vaccinated and will be required to show proof


Experience required:

Open level and appropriate for beginners as well as dancers who have learned for multiple years. Some classes will be split into different levels to suit everyone’s needs.


Who this is for: 

Bharatanatyam dancers looking to challenge themselves, push to the next level, and deepen their understanding of dance through a weekend of rigorous but fun training.


What you will get out of it: 

Body conditioning exercises to incorporate into your daily practice; increased strength and stamina; greater understanding of technique and alignment in adavus; jump in growth over one small weekend. Meet and work closely with your teachers and fellow students from the tri-state area and beyond!
