As we progress through the Adavu variations in the second set of Adavus, it is important to repeat them with awareness and clarity, revisit isolations and Bhedas and repeat the basics so that the articulations of torso are clear and controlled. This playlist finishes the Bramari adavu variations, the last Utplavana korwe and also introduces variations in the Kuditta mettadavu.
The playlist revisits past lessons and also introduces the final Anga, the Uras or chest to finish the last of the Anga Bhedas. A Khanda Jathi for practise is introduced in this video before we progress to the next repertoire piece which is in Mishra Chapu Talam.
This Warm- up is quite a bit more demanding than the previously introduced sequences, so please make certain that you have practised the following though the past months, atleast 5 times each, slowly with awareness before doing this warm-up.
