Bharatanatyam, one of the oldest and most revered dance forms of India, is a synthesis of expressive storytelling, precise rhythm, and spiritual devotion. Rooted in the ancient texts of the Natya Shastra, this dance form embodies the rich cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu and has evolved into a global symbol of Indian classical dance.
Mohiniyattam, originating from the lush landscapes of Kerala, captures the essence of feminine grace, devotion, and beauty through its gentle, flowing movements. It is named after Mohini, the enchantress avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu, and is characterized by its lyrical movements and emotive storytelling. This classical dance form embodies the delicate balance between the physical and the spiritual, telling stories of love and devotion with subtlety and elegance.
Semi-Classical Dance represents a creative blend that combines the rigor and discipline of traditional Indian classical dance with the freedom and versatility of contemporary movements. This genre of dance allows for greater expression and innovation, making it particularly appealing to a wide audience. It serves as a gateway for those intrigued by classical dance forms but looking for something more flexible and relatable.
Soham is a unique sanctuary dedicated to the holistic practices of yoga and the traditional art of Indian classical dance. Our studio is a nurturing space for individuals seeking growth, balance, and harmony through these ancient disciplines.
