I took this opportunity to learn a new dance in Bharatanatyam called \u2018Slokam\u2019, this dance is devoted to Lord Ganesha. It\u2019s a dance with combinations of jatis, sahityam, tirmanams, and mudras which makes the dance extraordinary. Before diving into it, I practiced hasta mudras and understood the meaning of the dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took me approximately 3 weeks to learn this dance with rigorous practice. I learned under the guidance of my Bharatanatyam teacher; Ulupi Patel, she taught me throughout and helped me improve on my stances and hand movements.<br><br>LO1- <br>I witnessed my personal strengths and weaknesses along with my teacher correcting my mistakes.<br>Strengths: Due to my flexibility I was able to get all my movements properly. Since I studied the whole dance with its meaning and who it devotes to, I could emote to the words of the singer. I practiced the hand gestures and mudras to make them fluent.<br><br>Weaknesses: Previously I had extremely strong stamina, but due to inconsistent dance practice during the lockdown, I couldn\u2019t keep up my stamina like it was better. This is where I faced difficulty while dancing, sometimes I couldn\u2019t keep up with the flow of the dance and hence, I had to practice more.<br><br>LO2-<br>It wasn\u2019t a huge challenge for me since I had the experience in different dances like Jatiswaram, Tillana, Kirtanam. Using the skills and knowledge of the dances that I was already familiar with I could catch up with the dance that I learned. The only challenge I faced was time-management due to my school work and being physically drained out from practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Final Takeaway-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This experience gave me the opportunity to invest my time in learning a new dance form and helped me improve in different areas which might help me in many future occurrences. Overall, my performance improved during the practice weeks and helped me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fecad8cc-b1e2-4ed8-ab0e-f62acc26612c-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3781\" width=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fecad8cc-b1e2-4ed8-ab0e-f62acc26612c-edited.jpg 257w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fecad8cc-b1e2-4ed8-ab0e-f62acc26612c-edited-135x300.jpg 135w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/054faa67-107e-4f50-8c81-8d45c2d8e02e-edited-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3779\" width=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/054faa67-107e-4f50-8c81-8d45c2d8e02e-edited-1.jpg 269w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/054faa67-107e-4f50-8c81-8d45c2d8e02e-edited-1-135x300.jpg 135w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:85% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/video2-1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bharatanatyam is a classical dance form that has countless combinations of dances, it&#8217;s known for its delicate movements with such purity.
