Offering training in Bharatanatyam is the primary focus of Mahalakshmi at Mayuri. Training in Bharatanatyam is offered in the traditional method by the teaching of the Natyashastras. A detailed curriculum is given to and discussed with each student when they join Mayuri. The Natyashastras are one of the greatest creations in the field of dance, drama, and theater. While the scope Natyashastras is well beyond dance, the Natyashastras offer a systematic education in the basic dance steps, hand gestures, foot movements, eye movements, neck movements, rhythms, facial expressions, and the other rules and principles that make up the the foundation of the dancing art. Semi-classical, and Folk Dance:
At Mayuri we strongly recommend all dancers to pursue Bharatanatyam because of the depth and systematic method of study that it offers. However, when learning Bharatanatyam is not feasible or is not of interest to the student, the student may opt to learn semi-classical dances, or folk dances Western (Free style). Non-Bharatanatyam students will be taught steps and other dance techniques on an as-needed basis to complement and enhance the dance items that they are learning at any given time. Indian Carnatic Classical Music Instrumental Music:
Apart from vocal music Mayuri offers instrumental music session on Keyboard, Veena, Mridangam. Please contact Mahalakshmi [email protected] for more information .
