Rhythm & Gestures: An All Levels Drop-In Bharatanatyam Class (San Francisco)
We begin with a warm up, fundamental adavus or foundational steps, learn a routine to popular music, and also do some abhinaya work rooted in gesture and improvisational storytelling. While some Indian dance experience would help, you do NOT need to be familiar with Indian forms to attend!
A promotional flyer for Nava Dance Theatre’s Bharatanatyam class titled Rhythm & Gestures. The background features a photo of a group Bharatanatyam class in motion inside a bright dance studio.… The image captures a central dancer with her hair tied up and arms extended in a classical mudra, looking focused and expressive. Other students in soft pastel outfits are also mid-movement, partially
visible in the frame. The lighting is cool-toned, and a large window in the background lets in natural light. The flyer text reads: Top center: "nava dance THEATRE" Center: "RHYTHM & GESTURES
– An All Levels Bharatanatyam Class (San Francisco)" Bottom center: "Wednesdays May 7, 14, 21 , 8:00 – 9:30 PM" Bottom left: "Dance Mission Theatre, Studio #4 , 3316 24th St, San Francisco, CA
