Tattva Workshops 2025

Anyone who has witnessed a dance performance notices at some point, how complex the different artistic disciplines work together to create the experience for the audience. There’s so much more than just dance technique and a good dancer that make up the entity of what we understand as Bharata Natyam. As a dance teacher, I often feel I cannot do justice to this vast knowledge necessary to understand the dance form.

To close this gap, Sharmila Rao’s dance school will host this year a new series of workshops to give dance students and interested audiences access to basics that never get enough attention in the dance class routine. Over the year we will touch all kinds of areas, be it dance make-up, dance fitness, music for dance, or related dance styles. Experienced teachers will share their knowledge and give you the unique opportunity to invest in learning that adds to your Bharata Natyam dance training and ultimately makes you a complete art connoisseur.
