Sharmila Rao Workshop
International Yoga day 2018
Sharmila Rao ist eine Bharata Natyam Tänzerin in Zürich. Sie unterrichtet und tritt seit mehr als 20 Jahren auf. Durch diese Erfahrung entwickelte sie einen neuen Ansatz, wie indisches Tanztraining noch effektiver und gesünder sein kann. Sie fügt daher dem traditionellen System des klassischen Tanzes neue funktionelle Übungen hinzu, die nicht nur den Körper stärken, sondern auch dazu beitragen, die Bewegungen im Tanz präziser und subtiler zu machen. Mit diesen innovativen Übungen will sie Verletzungen vorbeugen und gleichzeitig das Verständnis der Schüler für ihre eigene Tanzanatomie vertiefen.
Sharmila Rao is a Bharata Natyam dancer based in Zurich. She’s been teaching and performing for more than 20 years. Through that experience she developed a new approach of how Indian dance training can be more effective and healthier. She therefore adds new functional exercises to the traditional system of learning classical dance, which not only strengthen the body, but which also help to make the movements in dance more accurate and subtle. By introducing these innovative exercises she aims at preventing injuries and at the same time deepening the students understanding for his own dance anatomy.

"If you want to dance from the heart and not just with two feet, art has to be a state of being. It has to constantly be there around you, reflect in your behaviour, speech, action and emotion. It also has to extend beyond your life and thinking, absorb and reflect the pain and joy of others..."
