  • I would now recommend an angle between 130 to 180 degree. That will help your legs to open up and that gives a feeling of deeper posture. working on updating this video soon!!

  • friend, you are a great teacher!!! i live in U.K where there is less chance of learning bharatanatyam. as i'm only 12 yrs old, i want to learn more about bharatanatyam..hope your future vids will be just as useful for me as this one!

  • Hi Tesseley. Yes I have put in around 20 video. Hope they help you out. Will keep on adding. And do not hesitate to write in if you have any doubts.

  • wow but i've seen swaying of the hips in so many dances, guess those ppl r not doing well huh? lol

  • Hi friend..there are lot of folk and western dances that involve hip movements....but when it comes to classical it is minimized.

  • ooohh is in any dances u have to sway your hips in the aramadi postion?

    like when ur portray humor?

  • Hi.This is a commonly seen in a new student. Once you are aware of it and with practice it is minimised.

  • Seeing your feet in Ardhamandala I feel the feet are at 30 degree angle.So Is it that both the feet with heel as a point of contact, are at a 30 degree angle or 45 degree angle ?

    I would appreciate if you can tell me what is the angle ? is it 15 or 30 or 45

  • ok so not sway of the hips in aramadi position at all?
