PREP + PRACTICE

Prep + Practice is a free program designed for intermediate and advanced Bharatanatyam dancers in Toronto. Led by artist, teacher, and choreographer Atri Nundy. Building on last year’s program, Prep + Practice returns with a continued focus on technical foundations, stamina, and safe-dance practices. Through comprehensive warm-ups, form-focused exercises, and exploratory adavu work, dancers will deepen their understanding of Bharatanatyam’s grammar and movement principles.

Open to dancers from all banis, this training series invites participants into a supportive and community-oriented space where they can refine their form with precision and care. Hosted at The Citadel: Ross Centre for Dance, Prep + Practice aims to cultivate a dedicated environment where dancers can push their boundaries, connect with peers, and sustain their artistic journeys through disciplined, expressive practice.
