About This Opportunity
Chithkala School of Dance's Bharatanatyam Foundation Course for Children provides a structured introduction to classical Bharatanatyam for young beginners in Bangalore. The course is taught under the direction of P. Praveen Kumar at the institution's premises in Shankarapuram.
The foundation curriculum covers the core building blocks of Bharatanatyam technique: Adavus (basic movement patterns and their variations), Hasta Mudras (classical hand gestures and their meanings), basic Alaripu, and rhythmic exercises that develop a child's understanding of Taalam and coordination. The structured progression ensures that students develop correct posture, alignment, and technique from the earliest stages.
Classes are conducted in small groups to allow personalised attention. Students participate in institutional recitals as they progress, developing stage confidence alongside technical skills. The foundation course prepares children for more advanced repertoire and, ultimately, for formal examinations and Arangetram.
