Thattadavu 5
Playlist 21 • 2m 33s
The Thattadavu introduces concepts of rhythm to the beginner student through various patters of striking the floor with the foot. Do these in sequence to progressively build clarity in the articulation of the foot with the floor. Keep your hips stable and try not to move from side to side. It is better to stop when you begin to lose strength in your legs, take a break ,and start again rather than push through all the speeds while shifting your hip.
