Step into the world of Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance form that has been nurtured and celebrated for centuries. Bharatanatyam is recognized as one of India's nine classical dance styles by the Ministry of Culture. From divine offerings to mythical tales, each performance intricately weaves together stories of Hindu gods and goddesses, connecting generations and bridging cultures.
In Potomac, Maryland, Deepti Mukund Navile, a passionate dancer and educator, imparts the essence of Bharatanatyam in her basement dance school. We follow student Neharika Govindarajan as she prepares for her solo debut. Through intricate choreography and heartfelt expressions, Neha brings to life the rich mythology and spiritual traditions embedded within Bharatanatyam.
