Bahrain, 01 May 2015: Bharatanatyam is one of the most popular ancient South Indian dance form that uses subtle eye movements, hand gestures, and graceful footwork, accompanied by soulful music to communicate a poetry or story in visual form.  Bharatanatyam is traditionally set to Carnatic Music which combines ’Raaga(m)’ and ’Thaala(m)’.

 

Arangetram is the debut performance of a student of Bharatanatyam. It is a thanks giving event by a student who seeks the blessings from God, Guru, Parents and Audience.  Students performing Arangetram needs lots of hard work, dedication and rigorous training under a Guru’s for a period of 4-6 years.
