Bharatanatyam, an Indian Classical Dance form, is considered to be a form of Natya Yoga (a sacred and meditative dance yoga) and is believed to have similar health benefits as yoga. A graceful dance that incorporates geometric movements and rhythmic foot patterns, Bharatnatyam has its roots set deep in the South of India. An amalgamation of BHAVA – Emotion, RAGA – Music and TALA – Rhythm this lyrical dance form displays divine aspects through a combination of the three set to rhythmic footwork.

On Dance, Poetry and Communication

Through Dance, Movement and Poetry, language can be experienced in a creative way that opens new perspectives on its meaning and cultural impact. So why only sit on a desk, read and talk without moving? On top of that, research shows: as soon as we start playing with words not only on paper, but through different senses, we activate other areas in the brain that influence long-term memory. Following Stephan Brinkmann, who wrote a thesis on the complex interactions of dance, memory and cognition, our brain is able to understand the world because it moves. Not because it “understands”.

This special course gives you the opportunity to interact with your Language Skills through dance and movement. To make it more accessible, there is the possibility to choose poetry instead of movement. The aim is to feel more fluent while talking and to get a new perspective on communication.
