While a kurta Pyjama is Ok, Dhoti tied in the way specific to dance is better. Do not wear the ankle bells or the salangai in the beginning stages.. Regards, Sangeetha dear mam\sir

Well as to how some one becomes a teacher... That indeed is hard to answer... Well traditionally, people train for years(around 7yrs) basically to become a performer.. they have their stage debut (The arangetram). Well after that, the inclined and the ones the Gurus consider as befitting are trained to take classes and learn the art of nattuvangam....(conducting a dance performance) Today it is more like passionate dancers take up a course in nattuvangum and may start up a class. Currently a few dancers with some basic exposure to the artform and rudimentary knowledge also want to pass off as Gurus.. (or we wouldnt get to see all those appaling shows:) So take your pick! Lol Patricia, Thanks for your comment…

This website is basically for teachers to plan their lessons and for students as an learning guide. And it also intented to reach places without a high speed internet connection.... Videos become harder to view then... So I have planned to have small animations put up in You Tube as you may see in most of the sessions... Once I get all the adavus loaded up will think of providing videos as an additional resource.. I have the photos needed for animation for a few other steps, and would then need some models for the rest since I had to move to Malaysia, just hoping that things will work out.

Thank you. A small suggestion, if you can upload YouTubes instead of photos, it will help us understand the movements better. Regards, Anusha Palvannan Dear ma’am,

Are the sessions linked anywhere, by which one session follows the next ? Kindly advice. Regards, Anusha Palvannan Dear Anusha, I have planned the sequence progressively.. So you could follow them sequentially. for eg session 42 would come before session 43 etc. But general information isnt included in sessions, but are there to enhance learning..
