It's interesting that Bharatanatyam existed long before Ballet and yet Ballet dancers do not mention this position, which is basically plie(ing) in first position. i am writing a book now on Soca dance, and a chapter in the book is dedicated to comparing what Soca has i common with other dance genres. This helps alot
friend, you are a great teacher!!! i live in U.K where there is less chance of learning bharatanatyam. as i'm only 12 yrs old, i want to learn more about bharatanatyam..hope your future vids will be just as useful for me as this one!
I would now recommend an angle between 130 to 180 degree. That will help your legs to open up and that gives a feeling of deeper posture. working on updating this video soon!!
Seeing your feet in Ardhamandala I feel the feet are at 30 degree angle.So Is it that both the feet with heel as a point of contact, are at a 30 degree angle or 45 degree angle ? I would appreciate if you can tell me what is the angle ? is it 15 or 30 or 45

Hi friend..there are lot of folk and western dances that involve hip movements....but when it comes to classical it is minimized.
Hi.This is a commonly seen in a new student. Once you are aware of it and with practice it is minimised.
