r u interested for teaching dance?

[nandananjali]

@joyati1000 I am already teaching.

I need a video on how to get that great foot slap sound. Maybe my feet are too boney? All I get is a dull thud :(

[nandananjali]

@haffgaff you really dont have to focus on hard foot work. Just go by what is comfortable. Sometime hard strikes may hurt.

i wouldn't do this because if you learn like this it would take years just to learn classical dances LOL!

[nandananjali]

Yes it takes years to learn classical dance. I am still a student of this divine art. While there is no substitute to the traditional Guru-Shishya (Teacher-Student) way of imparting this knowledge, the content here can supplement and help a new learner understand the basics. The goal is to provide useful information on Bharatanatyam accessible online for a global audience.

Namaste! Thanks for posting the videos of Bharatanatyam.

In my country, we have less chances to learn Indian classical dance.

Hence, when I found your youtube, I was happy so badly!!

Thank you soooooo much.

I love Indian culture and hope some day I have the chance to visit there. ^_^
