18.01.2022 CAUTION Don't be scared, it's just me.. Light years back.... I know, I can't believe the transformation myself My first dance class was at the age of 5.5 with my first Guru. Kalaimamani. Smt.Padmini Dorairajan in Chennai India. I was petrified that my mum wanted me to join dance classes, I was wearing a kurtha and pyjama (traditional wear) with a bhindi that was humungous for my little face and I had the wildest eyebrows like a bear.

17.01.2022 Even the best rhythm, technique & intuition aren't enough to make a dancer truly excel; you also need strength, balance, and flexibility to execute movements with power and grace. Body conditioning improves performance by strengthening the body's core while developing coordination, balance, and alignment. At Chandralaya, we weave Body Conditioning into our curriculum to help our dancers achieve their best, and feel their best too. . Very proud of our students, both kids and... adults joining in for our early morning body conditioning classes . . #chandralayadance #melbournebharatanatyam #bodyconditioning4dancers #bodyconditioning #melbournedance #movementsmedicine #improveflexibility #inspire #express #dance #dancersofinstagram #exercise #bodyconditioning #strength #dancefit #moveryourbody #strengthtraining #dancelife #bharatanatyam See more

10.01.2022 Mata Hari was a spy, dancer and entertainer who refused to live life by the limiting rules of her era.

09.01.2022 What are you grateful for in 2020? Looking back on this year, I'd be lying if I said all has been well. It’s been hard not being able to grow the school as I'd intended or even carry out the planned events for 2020. That said, I was lucky to have my students stay with me in the online environment and build our resilience through the journey. Grateful to continue with the school, unlike some other small businesses who've had to shut down. Grateful for support from friends and... family throughout! . . #chandralayadance #melbournebharatanatyam #grateful #gratitude #silverlinings #melbournedanceschool #melbourneartist #melbournearts #dancersofinstagram #dancersworld #dancer #dance #contemporary #classicaldance #newyeareve #express#inspire #smallbusiness #dancelife #melbournedance #2020 #resilience #betterdaysahead #bharatanatyamdancer Volare Photography

08.01.2022 Tuesday Training-- Mindfulness : Decided to give myself a HIIT session to practise some of the Jathis from a Varnam today.. Dancing-- as much as it is fun, it's also a big part of mindfulness practise in a dancer's life.. I can tell I was trying to be more mindful of my Kita Thaka Thari Kita Thom here Mindfulness is such an important tool for a dancer - it's a balance of being aware and accepting yourself as well as not brooding on the negatives and letting go.... Tell me... folks, have you practised mindfulness lately, if so how? I'm curious.. . . #chandralayadance #tuesdaytraining #melbournebharatanatyam #tuesdaythoughts #training #mindfulness #dance #express #inspire #jathi #melbournedance See more

05.01.2022 When you sign up with Chandralaya, you're not just signing up to move your body! We love to help our students relax and centre themselves though breathing and mental techniques, and to gain a deep understanding of (and appreciate for) their own wonderful bodies. Lowering anxiety and learning to live in the moment are just some of the beautiful bonuses of studying dance at Chandralaya. . #chandralayadance #melbournebharatanatyam #dancersofinstagram #dance #inspire #express #kidslovedance #kidsclasses #newterm #adultbharatanatyam #onlineclasses #onlinedance #classicaldance #classicart #bharatanatyam #breathe #meditate #morethandance #inthemoment #relax #melbournedance

04.01.2022 OUR PRECIOUS MUNCHKINS . Remember when you were a little dancer, just starting out and obsessed with all things dance, and you saw your teacher or older students from your school performing on the stage for a crowd?
