Bharatanatyam for Adults (Beginners) is a new short course offered by LASALLE College of the Arts that will combine both theory and practice of Bharatanatyam. Students will investigate the history of traditional Indian dance while understanding the cultural context of Bharatanatyam and its relevance to the Indian diaspora.
The course will be led by Ms Durga Mani Maran, an adjunct lecturer at LASALLE College of the Arts. She shared: “This course has been specially curated with the varying communities of participants in mind, especially adults. Many adults fear to join a mainstream Bharatanatyam class as they feel it may be too intensive and they may not be able to cope. Bharatanatyam will be taught in a manner that suits them.”
