Thank you for making these invaluable videos🙏..
correct me if I’m wrong, Whatever the videos that are posted in the order of season or topic wise are all covered in the playlists right? So to learn it properly I only need to follow playlist as per the guidelines or are there other videos out of playlist which I need to keep a track of to learn?
If you follow the playlists, everything will be introduced. The only thing that is not in the playlists are the intro videos. We suggest you watch them before you start anything. It will just talk about that section of the program. Other than than, the playlists are a great way to progress.
While following the playlists, try to read what is written in the comments for the adavus, it will give you an insight into anything you might want to do to supplement your practice

Thank you for your amazing effort to introduce online bharathanatyam for us enthusiasts.
Will you be conducting lessons on the mudra and various bedha? Reason I am asking is because I have not practised bharathanatyam for almost 10 years and would love the chance to refresh and learn once again.
Thank you once again.
Yes I will be adding that in the course of the coming months. I will introduce the Natyashastra bhedas alongside the Abhinaya Darpana. Abhinaya Darpana has more Hasta viniyogas and other codified Hastas for Gods and relationships etc. Natyashastra deals more with body isolations in the Angas and Upangas. Since I come from that tradition, it applies more directly to the Raadha Kalpa method. So we will be introducing those alongside Bhedas of the Abhinaya Darpana.
I have not yet considered the Hasta Viniyogas from the Abhinaya Darpana. But I will think about that perhaps for later.
Warmth
Rukmini
