What is the Raadha Kalpa Method?

The Raadha Kalpa method is a systematic educational program devised by Rukmini Vijayakumar. It is a researched pedagogical structure that enables the priming of a Bharatanatyam dancer with attention to physical, technical, creative, rhythmic, theoretical and artistic detailing.

The program will help you progress in your Bharatanatyam. You will see visible changes to your dancing. Your stamina, physical alignment, strength, and understanding of theory in bharatanatyam will grow if you are disciplined in following the program.

You will also gain depth and understanding in the material and structure of Bharatanatyam choreography.

There will be videos published every month to ensure the progress of the serious student.

The Raadha Kalpa method is unique in that it exalts the traditional vocabulary of Bharatanatyam by making our minds and bodies more available to explore it. The idea of skill is introduced alongside physical, mental and creative exercises that prepare a dancer.

The exercise series, will include a daily practice routine designed specifically for the requirements of Bharatanatyam. The dancer can follow the progressive routines to prepare and condition the body.

The Adavu series will be accompanied by instruction and awareness videos. Attention will be brought to various areas so the practice is a mental/physical effort at realigning your body.

The Theory series will delve into various subjects in an analytical manner. The videos will not only present content but also question norms and present avenues for discussion

The repertoire series will share choreographed repertoire that the dancer can learn and practice. Each piece in the repertoire will be taught in a live session subsequently.

This is an ongoing program and there will be new releases every month.

This program is meant for the intermediate to advanced dancer who does not have access to a teacher, but needs guidance and clarity during a self practice.

The program allows you to set clear goals and motivate yourself to develop a sound grounding in bharatanatyam.

Though specifically designed for the Bharatanatyam dancer, the exercises can also be applied to the practice of other indian classical dance forms like Kuchipudi, Odissi, Mohiniattam and Kathakali that use a similar stance and posture. The exercises can also be used to generally strengthen and condition one's body without being a practitioner of any form of dance.

The program will also enable young practitioners to gain fresh perspective on the nuances of Bharatanatyam, while deepening their understanding.
