Bharatnatyam dance

Bharatanatyam is considered one of the oldest and most prominent classical styles of dance. It features strong and precise movements which are practiced by millions worldwide. The ancient art form comprises emotions, expressions, wellness, and well-being. One learns how to emote feelings into dance through facial expressions, hand gestures (mudras – Samukta & Asamukta Hasta), and body postures.
Learning the art form enables the student to understand and empathize with the finer nuances of human emotions. They learn to respect and admire their surroundings.
The wellness and well-being of the student are determined by using meditation techniques to release all that is trapped inside.
Bharat Natyam is not just an art form, it’s a lifestyle.

semi classical dance

For the semi-classical art form, we give students the wings to fly freely and broaden their horizons, although they do not learn the details of classical dance, they surely touch the surface. Semi-classical has aspects of Bharat Natyam and freestyle dance form.
These two incorporate to form a beautiful amalgamation of a visual portrayal of lyrical details of a song

Thoughts of my students

Shakshi Ma'am not only teaches about the dance form but also teaches about its history, discipline, empathy and emotions. I never knew dance has so much depth in it. I am grateful to learn from Shakshi Ma'am.

I was not a very interested dancer before, I use to dance only for fun, when I started taking Classical & Semi - classical sessions from Shakshi Ma'am, I had a new-found interest in the art and was so keen & curious to learn everything from her! I love dancing and practicising at home!

After the age of 50 I wanted to explore Bharat Natyam dance form and I joined Lasya Bharat Natyam Academy, I have never been happier. Shakshi Ma'am teaches the steps so effortlessly, she makes the difficult steps look easy and I love that about her. I am proud to say that I go to a class where there is no age bar! Everyone is welcomed with open arms. Thank you, Shakshi Ma'am.

Shakshi Ma'am has a unique way of teaching Bharat Natyam, I love how she indulges her students fully in the art form and captures our interests.

I have been learning any dance form for the first time in my life and that too Bharatnatyam. Shakshi Ma'am is really a good teacher. If I made any mistakes, she would still teach me patiently. Her Student-centric way of teaching Bharatnatyam made me learn it so quickly. Thank you, Shakshi Ma'am.
