Day 1 Level Mushika and Singham
Dear Parents and Dancers,
Hello!!! The dancers looked beautiful today and we know how hard it is to do eye makeup. We are still working on our eyes!
In the morning we had a great session 9-11 doing hair and makeup. At 11:15 we started talking with Hema Aunty and Krithika aunty. We will try to post the discussion for you all to view and listen to again.
When we moved into the studio we worked with both 1C classes together. We worked on our basic steps, stretching, a little bit of yoga. We started 2 new adavus: yettu adavu and theermanam adavu. But then we began our new piece, Shabdham which is an expressional piece created by G. Vijayaraghavan specially for Natya. Today we covered a quarter of the dance including the first jathi and a story about Pundaleeka. Ask the dancers to tell you about the story! The dancers tried out some different aspects of Abhinaya (expression) for the first time today with Hema Aunty and she explained the first lines of the piece and will be joining us tomorrow again! We had lots of fun and they did an amazing job.
You might have noticed that the kids came back home with some colored paper, please have your child write their names large and clearly on these cards and place them on the right side of your windshield before pickup tomorrow. Krithika Aunty sent out a video about it on the rep list.
They might be super tired from today so please make sure to give them lots of water and nutritious food. Also, please give them some tech time today to review and practice with the video links below. Some of the kiddos could use more healthy snacks (oranges, apples, dates, apricots, dried fruit, protein bars, yogurts, granola bar)
Thank you so much and looking forward to a great day tomorrow!
