At the beginning of Bharata Natyam classes, you learn many short basic steps, the so-called Adavus. These contain technical skills that must be trained in order to be able to dance longer step combinations. There is a traditional sequence of how to learn basic steps. Some have names, others are called by the syllables we use to accompany them. This playlist contains the most important basic steps in order of their degree of difficulty. These videos are made available by me for my students as training support. It has been scientifically proven that watching a movement activates the same regions of the brain as exercising the same movement.
