Re-learning Bharathanatyam as an adult
I trained in Indian classical dance until I was about 16, going to class thrice a week, building a repertoire, dancing competitively and for fun at incredible events. I eventually lost touch with the art over the years as you do with childhood interests. I found a teacher last year and started right from the basics in my 30s. Dancing was inseparable from my childhood memories and it’s amazing what my body remembers. Highly recommend going back to a lost childhood hobby.
