By learning a dance form, not only do you learn about the art and it’s significance, you also form lasting relationships with the students of your batch. Most times students grow up learning together and ‘Guru Behen/ Guru Bhai’ translating to ‘sisters/brothers of the same teacher’ form a family like bond with each other. There’s something very special between guru behen/bhai and it all ties down to the love and passion they have for their art, the commitment to perfect the form and choreography, the late night practices, the goof ups, the injuries and the butterflies before a stage performance. You start to understand each other in way no one else can. Your dance sisters/brothers are not just your backstage cheerleaders but the ones who will share their meals, their stories, and stand up for you when you doubt yourself. It’s a truly special bond, and we hope you’ve had the chance to experience this unique relationship! Tag your Guru Behen/Bhai squad and show your love for them ❤️

Composed a Chakkar ka Paran and a Tihai in Teentaal. I love creating new technical pieces, both for myself and my students. Between the mathematics and the aesthetics of it, I feel super comfortable now, but it's taken years of learning, absorbing, experimenting and trial and error to get here. Sometimes it starts with a simple idea, or just one rhythmic bol, or a movement I want to use, and it can go anywhere from there in a matter of seconds. Here are the bols of these two pieces: Paran: Dhet Ta Dhet Ta S Kida Dhet Ta S Kida Dhet Ta S Kida Dhet Ta Taginna Dhet Ta Dhet Dhet Ta S Dhet Dhet Ta S Dhet Dhet Ta S (Ti S Ta Ka S Ta Ga S Di Ge S Na Dha S Na) x2 Ti S Ta Ka S Ta Ga S Di Ge S Na Dha S Titakata Gadigana Dha Tihai: Dha Ghina Dha Gadigana Dha Kata Gadigana Dha (Titakata Gadigana Dha)x2 Titakata Gadigana (Dha Ta S)x4 Dha S S X3 • #nayantaraparpia #kathak #kathakdancer #indianclassicaldance #chakkars #spins #pirouettes #footwork #ghungroo #teentaal #nagmalive #pune #dancersofinstagram #dancelife #riyaaz

HAPPY WORLD DANCE DAY! I'm now 3.5 months post partum, and couldn't be more thrilled to be back on stage after over a year, celebrating International Dance Day along with all the other classical dance institutes of Pune. Although my stamina has obviously reduced, I don't feel as shaky as I was expecting to, thanks to my latest fitness routine (daily details on my Insta-stories!) Feels so good to be back, and more so, to be sharing the stage with 8 of my students, without whom I don't think I would have this confidence so soon after my delivery. Here are some snippets from my practice today. Come watch us on Tuesday 30th April at Ishanya Creaticity amphitheatre at 6pm. It's a free show, so everyone is welcome!

एक समय गृह सों निकसी, सखी पहन के चीर कुसुम की सारी। खेलत कूदते जाए रही, सखी जाए रही नंदलाला की बारी। काँच कली इक तोड़ ली, जिन कारण बाहर मरोड़ी मारी। "आग लगे ब्रज की बगिया, इक फूल के कारण लाखन गारी?" . . यह रचना, कथक नृत्य के जयपुर घराने की बहुत पुरानी रचना है। अक्सर कथक नृत्य में अंत मे भाव पक्ष की प्रस्तुति में कोई ठुमरी की जाती है और जब मैंने सबसे पहली ठुमरी मंच पर प्रस्तुत की थी ,तब इस ही कविता से शुरुआत की थी। यह तस्वीर मुझे इस कविता की याद दिलाता है । इस ही कविता से जुड़ा एक और पोस्ट जल्द ही आपके समक्ष लाने का विचार है। This is a traditional compositions from the Jaipur Gharana of Kathak Dance. Often Kathak Artistes end their recitals by presenting the Bhaav (expression) aspect of Kathak with a thumri or ghazal. The first time I ever performed a thumri, I began my presentation with this poem. This photo reminds me of this poem. The floral dupatta, garden like background and the flower of course! The handmade neckpiece I am wearing is made of fabric, unique in shape and in my most favourite color. I call it the "jhoola" neckpiece. It looks gorgeous with any plain contrast colored kurtas or kurtis. Neckpiece by @artsoul_studio Do visit their page and check out their handmaid sustainable fabric jewellery! Planning another post depicting this poem very soon. Stay tuned!
