Earth Elements: An Autumn Bharatanatyam Workshop

As the days grow shorter and the light turns gentle, autumn invites us into reflection and renewal. Just as the leaves return to the earth, we are called to turn inward — to rest, replenish, and gather strength for what lies ahead. Across many traditions, this season is understood as a time of harvest and nourishment: a moment to honor what sustains us and to cultivate balance within.

In this beginner-friendly Bharatanatyam workshop, we will explore movement as a source of groundedness, rootedness, and reflection. Rooted in the sacred dance theatre traditions of South India, Bharatanatyam weaves together footwork, storytelling, and mudras (hand gestures) that channel energy and meaning. Together, we will learn a short choreography inspired by the themes of fall.

This workshop is for anyone curious about dance as a path of self-connection, expression, and renewal. No prior experience is required — only a willingness to explore, listen inward, and move with intention.
