What is Bharatanatyam?

Bharatanatyam originates from Tamil Nadu and is one of the oldest and most respected Indian classical dance forms. Its powerful geometry, precise movements, expressive storytelling and rhythmic complexity make Bharatanatyam simultaneously a visual art form and a spiritual discipline.

The word Bharatanatyam is said to encompass:
Bha – Bhava (emotion)
Ra – Raga (melody)
Ta – Tala (rhythm)
Natyam – Dance

Thus, this dance form unites music, rhythm, and expression, premised on the principles of the ancient treatise, Natya Shastra, traditionally attributed to the sage Bharata Muni.

The centuries-old Bharatanatyam evolved from traditional temple devotional practice into a refined stage art, practiced and admired all over the world today.
