Bharat Natyam
The Bharata Natyam is a dance style that dates back 2000 years and originated in the temples of Tamil Nadu in southern India. Composed of a rich language of codified hand gestures, body movements, facial expressions and complex footwork, it is today one of the most popular Indian dance forms in the world.
It can only be transmitted through active practice, which preserves the essence, beauty and spirituality of this style of dance. Composed of rhythms, music, dance and mime, the Bharata Natyam is a dynamic form of yoga that allows you to soak up calm and self-confidence.
In the philosophy of the Omkara school, the Bharata Natyam is much more than dance steps and expressive gestures: It is an inner discovery thanks to a body dynamics and the use of space. Feeling joy through a synchronization of the mind and body, a sense of peace of mind through discipline, preparation and training, and the certainty of to obtain through regular practice the manifestation of inner peace and abundant joy - these powerful tools allow dancers to achieve professional development and complete mastery of their art.
