Has anyone planned an arangetram at a high school auditorium in the DC/MD/VA area? It seems to be highly discouraged amongst serious dance schools here (for some strange reason; in Atlanta where I am from it is the norm) but due to schedules of the musicians/cost, high schools are the most flexible option. Has anyone done it recently at just a regular public high school in the area? submitted by /u/Better_Sun_8622 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm a kuchipudi student and my rangapravesham is in 3 months. I have been struggling a lot with keeping my eyes steady, especially during abhinaya.

Also if any of you have some interesting poses do share them Thanks :) submitted by /u/Bitter-Shift-812 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey!

Some context: I was working in Tamil Nadu and got into contact with the dance there, as soon as I was back in Europe I was excited that there is a teacher in my city and I picked it up.

How often do you practice and where do y’all practice? Can I dance in the gym? submitted by /u/CHANELLEFUNGIRL2000 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi everyone, I’m preparing for my arangetram that’s 6 months away. The problem is I was in top form last year and due to my exams I’ve lost it. It’s been almost 8 months and it’s seems to have not come back. I can’t sustain my araimandi for long periods of time and it’s making me super upset. I’ve been practicing everyday for the past month and a half and I’m not seeing any results. I’m starting to freak out. I don’t know if I’m up for this ?? submitted by /u/Intrusivethotss-3 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
