Is bharatanatyam tough to learn?

Question

i am starting to learn bharatanatyam so i just wanted to know if its extremely tough to learn?

Answer 1

Bharatnatyam is a lot like Odissi (I took Odissi for seven years), except (in my opinion) it's a little easier. It's really not too hard if you have a good teacher, though flexibility and rhythm are definitely two things you need to know pretty much any Indian style of dance. It's not as taxing as, say, ballet, but there are a lot of steps to remember because a lot of the dances are pretty long. I'd say it's worth trying. It's fun, and a good work out, too. Hope you have fun!
