Day 3 – singham

Dear parents and dancers:

Hello!! We did a lot of dancing today and they might be sore today as well!

We began the day with the prayer Aangikam Bhuvanam and went over the meaning of the slokam again. We then stretched out and the kids learnt Surya Namaskaram A. They are still memorizing the yoga positions but they are getting stronger!

Afterwards, we reviewed the first two jathis and the story about Pundaleeka several times and in groups before moving on to the story about Ekalavya – have them tell you that story when they get home! 

Hema aunty also helped them with the footwork for a small archery portion in the dance! Here are some pictures of how class went today (and the little singhams)!

Please make sure they practice the old and new parts of the dance with the videos as well as Surya Namaskaram. They should also be practicing their asamyukta hastas throughout the week. Please make sure they are having healthy food and lots of water since they might be tired when they come home today.

Thank you!

Kiran, Malini and Aditi
