Connect mind, body, and spirit by expressing your unique story through ancient Indian movement.
About this Event

Discover the transformative power of ancient Indian dance through this immersive workshop based on the ancient Vedic text- The Natya Shastra. All experience levels welcome!

Learn to express your innermost self through simple movements from classical Indian forms like Bharatanatyam and Kathak as Vyjayanthi guides you in finding your unique rhythm. Through traditional techniques blended with modern wellness practices, explore the fundamental elements of mudras (hand gestures), abhinaya (facial expressions), and nritta (rhythmic footwork).

Experience how Vedic dance can:

  • Enhance body awareness and posture
  • Boost mental clarity and focus
  • Cultivate emotional balance and expression
  • Help you tell your own story

Create your own transformative dance sequence as you connect personal narrative with the universal language of movement!



Meet Vyjayanthi

Vyjayanthi Vadrevu's 30+ year dance journey intertwines artistry, wellness, and academic insight, creating a unique tapestry of movement and self-discovery. Rooted in the classical Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam, her practice has blossomed into a holistic approach that nourishes mind, body, and spirit. As a former professor of applied anthropology and autoethnography, Vyjayanthi brings a deep understanding of personal narrative to her dance. In her workshops, Vyjayanthi creates a nurturing space where participants learn to read their bodies' stories through movement. Her classes become a sanctuary for self-reflection and growth, where each step and gesture becomes a word in one's own life story. Through her work, she demonstrates how dance can be a powerful medium for healing, self-discovery, and community building, inspiring others to embrace their own narratives through the universal language of movement.
