Approaches to Teaching a Bharatanatyam Class for Adults

ABSTRACT

In the independent sector, Bharatanatyam, an Indian classical dance form, is predominantly taught to children and young adults. This article follows my journey as an educator developing a Bharatanatyam class for adults. What would a class designed specifically for adults look like? I share the teaching strategies I employed to deliver the classes effectively online. I take a participatory approach to teaching the classes and, in doing so, widen the scope of teaching Bharatanatyam within the independent sector.
