into the world of Bharata Natyam, the Indian classical temple dance in which ‘Sadhana’ plays an important role.

On the following pages I will inform you about workshops, performances / presentations and dance classes:

Performances & presentations

Each dance performance contains a number of basic dance items and its own interpretation, including a narrative and interactive part for the audience.
From a traditional India, in which the caste system played an important role, to today’s modern India, with the immensely popular Bollywood. Sadhana narrates about this in her presentations; also about religion and spirituality: how old standards and values ​​remain intact in today’s modern Indian society.

Workshop Indian Classical Temple dance

Introduction to Indian dance culture through ten lessons for those who want to explore. The highlights are: technical steps (adavus), hand gestures (mudras & hastas), eye / neck / and head movements, learning a Ganesha slokham (prayer).

Dance classes

For the true follower I design an individual teaching program that lays a solid foundation for hand gestures, footwork, dance patterns, rhythm, et cetera. After each block of four lessons, there is a sequel of advanced classes and mastering the temple dances.
