Creating smart dancers.

When we understand dance, we dance freely. When we understand movement, we move fearlessly.

Welcome to Anatomy-Based Classical Dance! I am so excited to share my passion project with the dance world. ABCD is meant for all dancers, but I created this platform mainly to address the lack of anatomical and scientific awareness in the Indian dance community. There are BARELY any resources for Indian classical dancers who need help dealing with injuries, and practically no scientist-dancer-scholars who are studying injury prevention for Indian Classical dancers. On the flip side, there are hundreds of thousands of such resources for ballet dancers! So while ABCD is for ALL dancers, I hope Indian Classical dancers especially find a home here. Stay tuned for content to come, and in the meantime, check out www.anatomybasedclassicaldance.com (or click the link in bio). • • • • #dance #dancers #fitness #dancescience #dancescienceresearch #injuryprevention #injuryrecovery #injuryrehab by @anatomybasedclassicaldance

It is with profound joy that I present this little piece of my heart to you all: this short film, titled “Good Pain,” that is the introduction to my body of research. And with that, I also announce with profound joy and gratitude that I am the recipient of the Fulbright Nehru Research Fellowship in the category of Classical Indian Dance— specifically, this project, “Anatomy-Based Classical Dance.” My research examines the Classical Indian dance form from a scientific perspective. Pain is an inevitable part of a physically demanding discipline. But pain doesn’t have to be a constant companion. Little medical research exists on the anatomy of the Indian dance form or the common mechanisms of injury. If you’re a practitioner reading this, I’m sure you’ve felt the frustration of a professional who didn’t understand; who told you that your only option was to stop. This research is a step towards empowerment; towards helping dancers understand their bodies. And NOW: the people I have to thank! First and foremost— the brilliant, endlessly kind luminaries of Indian Classical dance who inspired me to chase this dream relentlessly— my gurus, Smt. Nirupama and Sri TD Rajendra @nirupama_rajendra . They are the definition of what it means to project forward while remaining firmly rooted in tradition. I am so proud to bring this honor to them, and to the institution that they have built @abhinavadanceschool — which is so deeply dedicated to the pursuit of excellence. To the BRILLIANT artist who captured my vision through his lens: dearest Palani Mohan uncle. @nrityachhavi . What an immense privilege to work with you, to have your support for my wild ideas! I am so honored to know you, to work with you— what a blessing. And to my wonderful family, who loved me through every moment of self doubt. To my steadfast, darling friends who believed in me before I did! How endlessly grateful I am for you. To my friends here on this app, who comment and like and share: thank you, from the bottom of my soul. How deeply, endlessly grateful I am for you. Welcome to ABCD. {Music by J. Easton} • • #kathak #bharatanatyam #indiandancerscommunity #injuryprevention #injurypreventionfordancers by @anatomybasedclassicaldance

Dancers, if you aren’t the most naturally flexible— that’s okay! Maybe you’re starting dance back up again after a while— either way, you need your body to moving through movements HEALTHILY! 2025 is the year of HEALTHY movement, so let’s start by trying out some of these simple asanas to help you develop space in your body. Give them a try, and let me know how you felt after! So many Indian Classical dancers neglect stretching because it feels inaccessible, or don’t stretch in a SMART, informed way…. That ends now! Together, we enter 2025 as smarter, stronger dancers. So, let me know when you try these out? Did you enjoy these modifications? Feedback is always helpful, so I can curate the content that will help YOU become the healthiest dancer you can be. • • • • • #bharatanatyam #bharatanatyamdancer #bharatanatyamdance #kathak #kathakdancer #kathakdancers #indianclassical #indianclassicaldancers #indianclassicaldance #dancetechnique #yoga #asana #beginneryoga #beginneryogaposes by @anatomybasedclassicaldance

I began taking my yoga journey seriously at this time last year— it was probably the one resolution that I genuinely stuck with. Now, one year later, I can say without hesitation that yoga is transformative for dancers. Dancers are athletes while embodying grace, and for this, both immense strength and flexibility are necessary. I find that yoga is the tool to achieve these essential components, while instilling discipline and mental fortitude in practitioners. Yoga has given me freedom within my own body, and transformed my art in turn. If you are a dancer interested in enhancing your practice, or simply anyone looking to evolve into a better version of yourself, I cannot recommend yoga enough. With that in mind, try incorporating these asanas into your daily practice/warm up/conditioning, and watch how you transform ✨ • • • • #indiandancerscommunity #indiandancer #dancer #dancersofinstagram #kathak #kathakdance #bharatanatyam #bharatanatyamdancer #yoga #asana #asanapractice #yogainspiration by @anatomybasedclassicaldance

Indian classical dancers: if you are experiencing lower back pain before, after, or during your practice, it may be the result of muscle imbalances in your core. Incorporate these core exercises into your daily warm up and conditioning to alleviate your lower back pain! A stronger core = a stronger (and HEALTHIER) dancer! • • • • • #bharatanatyam #kathak #bharatanatyamdancer #kathakdancer #indiandance #backpain #corestrength #dancertraining #injuryprevention #injuryrehab by @anatomybasedclassicaldance
