Austin Dance India offers all levels of classes in traditional Bharata Natyam technique. Lessons begin with extensive time spent on practice of adavus, or series of steps, which are the building blocks of the dance.

These verses contain explanation and detailed definitions of hand symbols, head and eye movements, positioning of the arms, stances, and more. Students are expected to practice at home as they progress through the levels. The instructor will guide students and parents on how to develop a disciplined approach to a regular home practice that can make all the difference in a student’s progress.
