Bharatanatyam is an art form that takes time and dedication to develop. It is one thing to go through the curriculum, but a more important measure is the sense of delight and love for the art that grows in the student. A student can go through the art, but it is more important that the art go through the student. When this happens, the student goes beyond the stages of imitative learning and discovers the joy of self-expression.
It is more important that art go through the student.
To this end, I make it a constructive learning experience to nurture the joy of dance, for this is the enduring quality that sustains artists and connoisseurs. My mission is to sincerely enrich my students, and instill a sound understanding of this ancient art, so that they too may discover the joy of this cultural treasure that I cherish.
