Diploma in Bharatanatyam at Kalakshetra Foundation, Chennai Offline Course

The Diploma in Bharatanatyam is a rigorous four-year full-time course where the ingenious and comprehensive syllabus framed by the adept dance exponents will bloom and blossom out extraordinary dance talents. Students are taught the "adavus" based on Rukmini Devi's systematized method for their first year and most of their second year, in addition to exercises and yoga, which aid and diversify the range of movements. Items are gradually introduced into the curriculum from the second year onwards, and students begin learning "abhinaya" pieces from their third year. Students graduate from the four year diploma course with a strong theoretical, musical and language foundation which allows them to understand and incorporate new items into their repertoire, and, with continued practice and performance, to gain further insights into the dance form.
