Choreography Updates

Tatkar is a footwork in Kathak dance according to the bols. Each Taal has it different tatkar .for eg - teen tall bol is 

Ta, Thai, Thai, tat

Aa ,Thai ,Thai ,tat

Ta ,Thai ,Thai ,tat

Aa, Thai, Thai tat

It has 16 bols. And same in other Taal its footwork has its own tatakar. Basically tatkar is played on Indian classical instruments.

Bharatnatyam is one of the traditional dance of India. It is more important to give respect and protect it's worth. Because it provides our traditional, ancient myths and prospects. It inculcates discipline to our mind and soul also of course to our body as a whole. A beautiful exercise obviously. At most a language of prayer to the supreme Lord of the universe to show our bhakti towards Lord. Kids, adults, elders all can learn Bharatnatyam and deserve its power. 

Hi, Most of us are not much aware about Partner Dances, when we see any 2 people dancing together we say they're dancing Salsa.

but that's not true, there are several forms of Partner Dances, let me name a few like Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Jive, Waltz, Foxtort, tango and many more. 

Now you will say all are Partner dances, what's the difference? 

The difference is in the structure, their form, their origin & the style of dancing. A very basic example, In salsa there are lot of spins, in dominican bachata lot of footwork, while kizomba is more about natural hip movements (called Ginga in their language).

Also, a very important difference is that some of the dance forms will be slightly easier to learn than others.

Now, Let me tell you what's more important is that what do you conenct with? Every Individual is different & carry their own personality, say you may have heard of Jive, & join a jive calss, however you may or may not connect with that dance form much. That doesn't mean you will not connect with any other forms of Partner Dances, because Jive is full of Energy, has lot of Bounce & needs some good amount of strength in your arms. While same person may love to Dance Kizomba which is as realxing as the girl can sleep in the partner's arms while dancing. (Pardon me for Exaggerating a bit more). 

So, all we say is keep learning & exploring! 

It can also happen you gave an attempt to learn Salsa earlier but it didn't work, maybe it could be the instructor or the institute who couldn't help you find what's missing or what's going wrong. Keep exploring as we say it is an extremely beautiful expereince for two people to move in sync with each other.

Is it necessary to Dance only with your Partner?

How do you learn if you don't have a partner?

Hello everyone,
Hope you are doing well!
Well, I have a basic concern for musicality. Dance is enhancing day by day, but musicality level is a little bit low. So try to use heavy strength songs and listen to it at least a 100 times minimum before making any choreography.

There are many different layers in music like base, upper and middle so if you are making any choreography, try to catch all the layers with there strengths.

The reason why we all must engage ourselves in some kind of fitness activity such as dance/Yoga or any fitness activity in our daily life is -

● It helps us in keeping our brain more active and helps us keep negative thoughts.

● It brings good coordination in the body and builds muscle memory.

● Dance keeps us in a jolly mood as sweat gives a good level of satisfaction to humans.

● It improves our pattern of sleep 

● it obviously builds confidence and helps us improve our personality.

Apart from these, there's a lot more dance does to our body.

So, why to keep yourself inactive. 

Dance your worries out every day.

Dear Mahima, it is true that dance needs flexibility but for that first you have to start working on it! flexibility can be achieved in 2-3 hours or a day but unfortunately this is not the case. Flexibility, depending on the body and age can take up to 6 months or a year of constant and disciplined work.
