The adavu demonstrations in this DVD are based on distinctive Adavu styles as mandated by the two well-known schools namely

• Kalakshetra
• Vazhuvoor

Here, theory and techniques behind each Adavu are slickly explained & demonstrated by Shajilal (Kalakshetra), Bhargavi Gopalan (disciple of Smt. K J Sarasa) and Apoorva Jayaraman (disciple of Smt. Padmini Ravi). These young and vivacious dancers also show variations in Adavu execution that lend the recital the variety and verve.

The Sthaana, Chaari and Nruttha Hastas stipulated for each Adavu have been explained in detail.

Created by eParampara Technologies, under their Kalakriya Series, it is an ideal learning tool for the serious students of Bharatanatyam.

Demos on:

Thattadavu	Nattadavu	Pakka Adavu

This audio CD presents 'Adavus' and 'Korvais'- the two integral aspects of Bharathanatyam, India's traditional dance form.

What words are to a language, Adavu is to dance. It makes communication meaningful and free flowing by fusing different aspects of dance to create a seamless continuity and fluidity. Rigorous training in the adavus sets the foundation for exploring the many nuances of Bharathanatyam

Coming from eParampara Infotainment, as part of their Kalakriya Series, this audio CD can be an ideal practice aid for dancers and teachers.

It contains a track-wise recording of some of the often-used adavus, with one or more practice variations in each. A booklet naming each adavu and describing its delineation is also included.

There is a value addition to this product in the form of a recording of twenty Korvais (sequences of adavus) composed in different permutations and combinations of rhythm. This will prove useful to dancers and teachers in choreographing sequences of movement
