However, when I thought that I could add this as a CAS experience, I resumed my dance lessons. Currently, I am in the last year of my bachelor&#8217;s in arts for Bharatnatyam, which is called Visharad. My goal is to achieve good grades in the exam that I will take place in October 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to practice rigorously for Visharad as it includes 7 dances and 6 years&#8217; worth of theoretical knowledge, which includes the history of other classical and folk dances of India, well-known artists and performers of different dance styles, myths &amp; legends connected to the dance form, and much more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LO 1 Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/strong>: My Bharatnatyam teacher told me that I am doing well when it comes to dancing, but my face has been completely blank while I&#8217;m performing. Because Abhinaya is a significant part of this classical dance, I need to work on it, for which I will be doing acting exercises and observing my classmates and my teacher while they are performing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LO 2 Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process<\/strong>: Recently, I was given feedback by my teacher that I was not dancing fiercely, and somewhere she felt that I was appearing to be nervous, which was the total opposite of what is expected to be a Bharatnatyam dancer&#8217;s attitude, and because of that, I planned to practice the dances at home so that I remembered what I was doing and probably then I would look more confident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LO 4 Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences<\/strong>: It is really exhausting as I also have other extra-curricular activities and classes to attend, but I have to show my commitment towards my experience so that I can achieve good grades and for that, I have to go 6 days a week so I can perfect my posture, expressions, and overall dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_6461.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13410\" width=\"242\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_6461.jpg 432w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_6461-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_6461-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_6456.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13411\" width=\"244\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_6456.jpg 432w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_6456-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_6456-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been learning Bharatnatyam for almost 10 years, but because of grade 10 exams and COVID-19, I had to pause my classes for a period of time.
