Simply joyful worship with every step a dance...
Padma Dance Academy offers beginning, intermediate, and advanced level Bharatanatyam classes taught by Champakalata (Yamuna) Fiorentino, disciple of Natya Veda Bharati Sudha Chandrasekhar. The academy is an affiliate of Sudha Chandrasekhar’s Hindu Temple Rhythms in Detroit, Michigan.
Bharatanatyam dance is an ancient, highly evolved and codified expression of bhakti or devotion. It is a prayer, a means of spiritual enlightenment, connection to the creator, spiritual enlivening of the audience, and a dovetailing of mind, body, and spirit in the service of the Supreme Lord.
