The Jatiswaram will be taught in parts with detailing on rhythm and alignment.
A Jatiswaram is traditionally performed after an Alaripu or Pushpanjali in a BHaratanatyam performance, a combination of Jatis and Swaras, it is a piece that explores rhythm and musicality at once, challenging the physical prowess of the dancer and warming up the audience to receive content that is more layered thereafter. A purely Nritta piece, the Jatiswaram is melodic and rhythmic.
