Pointers for Pakkadavu 3:
Keep your shoulders down when lifting your arms.
Make sure your arms do not go too far back.
Follow your arm and keep your gaze toward the wrist of the arm you are bending away from.
Make sure you keep your thighs pushing back while retaining Swastikam in your feet.
The Pakkadavu name is derived from the movement of the entire body as opposed to a name derived from specifically the articulation of the feet. The Raadha Kalpa method practises four different types of Pakkadavu to create specificity in feet articulation. The movement of the arms are interchangeable and can be varied to an even greater number when placed in choreography.
The four types that are introduced, address with clarity four types of feet articulation in combination with most commonly used arm movements.
This progression is unique to the Raadha Kalpa method as it changes the starting and ending of each Pakkadavu by changing the use of Tattu in Araimandi or Swastikam.
Pay specific attention to the feet articulation in the Pakkadavu series. Start with the first one and then progress to the rest.
