PREP + PRACTICE

“Prep+Practice” is a facilitated class for intermediate and advanced Bharatanatyam dancers to train together, in community.

Prep + Practice is a facilitated space designed for intermediate and advanced Bharatanatyam dancers looking to return to their training and maintain a regular practice alongside peers.

Led by artist, teacher, and choreographer Atri Nundy, the program returns for its third year with a continued emphasis on technical foundations, stamina, and safe-dance practices.

Open to dancers from all banis, the sessions move through Prep: which consists of comprehensive warm-ups and form-focused exercises, and Practice: which focuses on exploratory adavu work and jati/sequence building.
