Tapasya episode 01 - SDN's training sessions - Sridevi Nrithyalaya - Bharathanatyam Dance

Tapasya - SDN's training sessions, is a series of videos that will be published on a monthly basis (as episodes) on the last day of every month.
The students featuring in Tapasya series have about 6-8 classes every month. Each episode of Tapasya is a cumulative overview of what is taught to them during the course of the month.
Along with the training sessions of the children, Tapasya also holds inputs on teaching techniques from Smt. Sheela Unnikrishnan and useful tips from the regular performers of Sridevi Nrithyalaya.

Hii ma'am i want to ask that, isn't student get bore while doing same step for 2-3 years??? I am also running class here kindly guide me

[@SheelaUnniSrideviNrithyalaya]

Namaste Adavus are not the only thing to be taught to the children… punctuality, discipline, attentiveness along with that our puranas, culture & tradition etc… are to be nurtured in them. We need to engage them with some interesting result oriented activities based on their levels side by side perfecting their Adavus. Best wishes to you.

[@meera-mairui]

@@SheelaUnniSrideviNrithyalaya Ji, love your beautiful answer. Life itself is Tapasya, so being taught this way from childhood is a huge blessing. Maybe running a class could be boring after some time (because you're just RUNNING), if we are not sincerly, deeply dedicated on that path ... if so, better to acknowledge it in our heart and do something else that really suits us ...

[@ashk3275]

Such clarity and finesse in imparting discrete steps and stages that ensures a budding dancer can blossom into a full fledged artiste. It is indeed a tapasya (penance) for both master and her protege. The coverage of this transformational process is as exquisite. Indepth narratives with pleasant and authentic music followed by demonstrations provide the means to clearly understand this celebrated art form. Such a joy to experience this learning in the presence of exalted teachers.

[@thejulily]

Namasthe Sheela Madam, I cannot thank you enough for this great effort of yours in teaching all of us how to train students who aspire to learn Bharathanatyam. I am a big fan of your teaching style and always wanted learn your techniques, so "Tapasya" is really helping all of us in this regard. But I have a few questions based on the information you have given in this episode. If you could answer them, it will be really helpful and I will be grateful to you. According to you, adavus should not be initiated until proper body balance and araimandi posture is achieved (A very good point made) and I can see that students who joined in 2015 are only learning 3rd tattadavu now. With this speed, it will take a minimum of 5 to 6 years just to complete the dasha vidha adavus. But, one of your students, Kum. Shreya Shree, who is, may be, just 9 or 10 years old now, is able to dance in a very professional level, with excellent body language and perfect adavus. . And many of your students of this age are able to dance very well. So based on my observations of all of your videos, my questions are: 1. What is the minimum age for students of your class? 2. How many classes per week do you conduct and how long will each class be? 3. Do you select students who can perform well and give them extra practice?, but after seeing your videos, I dont think that is the case, as all of them dance equally well. 4. Do you teach more lessons per class once a student attain basic body balance and anga Southavam? Because to reach the stage where Shreya Shree is right now, more training is absolutely necessary. I would really appreciate if you could kindly let me (All of us) know your answers. As this will help us improve the training we are giving to our students. Thanks again for all your efforts!!
