I have done Bharatnatyam (Indian Classical Dance) for ten years. It has been an integral part of my life, something which was sure to be there when I moved and switched schools. This past summer, I completed my Arangetram, a debut on-stage performance of a classical dance student, after undertaking years of training. At the culmination of my Arangetram, I realized that I knew everything about the technique and minute details of the art form, yet nothing about the theory. Bharatnatyam is strongly rooted in the rich culture of India, and there is an endless supply of history and heritage in Bharatnatyam to learn about.
