Full timeDURATION
48 MonthsThe Diploma in Dance is a rigorous four-year full–time course in Bharatanatyam offered by Kalakshetra Foundation, Chennai. Students are taught the adavus based on Rukmini Devi’s systematized method for their first year and most of their second year. Students are taught exercises and yoga, which aid and diversify the range of movement. Items are gradually introduced into the curriculum from the second year onwards, and students begin learning abhinaya pieces from their third year. Students graduate from the four-year diploma course with a strong theoretical, musical and language foundation which allows them to understand and incorporate new items into their repertoire, and, with continued practice and performance, to gain further insights into the dance form.
