I explored classical Indian dance postures like Bharatanatyam’s aramandi (half-sitting stance), Kathak’s chakkars (spins) and Odissi’s tribhanga (three-bend pose). I practiced mudras such as pataka (flat hand), used for depicting nature and alapadma (lotus), symbolizing beauty. Demonstrating these gestures helped me appreciate their role in storytelling. This activity showed me how posture and hand movements create meaningful expressions in classical dance, enhancing my understanding of body control, balance and symbolism in performances.
