As part of Seeta Patel Dance’s commitment to outreach and education, Ami delivered a dynamic Bharatanatyam workshop on behalf of the company for Pinnacle Dance Platform.
The session introduced participants to the rich tradition and intricate vocabulary of Bharatanatyam, one of India’s most popular classical dance forms. Ami guided the group through the foundational elements of the form—rhythmic footwork, expressive hand gestures (mudras), and storytelling through movement—all while encouraging a spirit of curiosity and play.
The workshop was designed to be accessible to dancers from a variety of backgrounds, and Ami’s engaging approach made space for both focused learning and creative exploration. Participants not only learned about the technical and expressive aspects of Bharatanatyam, but also gained insight into its cultural context and contemporary relevance through Seeta Patel Dance’s innovative lens.
