Having learnt the dance form in the traditional Guru-Shishya (Teacher-Student) mode with intimate physical lessons for 10 years, this is a question that I am trying to answer as well! But with the changing paradigms and thinking, people are trying to find newer ways to interact and help each other. The emergence of social networking sites is a case in point.
I am encouraged by the fact that there are resources that have tried to transfer knowledge on dance online and through books. A popular online resource that teaches dance is Learntodance.com. On the last count, the site has been bookmarked by 580 people on del.icio.us ! (search for dance). Another approach is a book on Bharatnatyam called “How To Bharatanatyam” (A Step By Step Approach to Learn the Classical Dance Form) by Jayalakshmi Eshwar.
There are a number of video and DVD available that provide lessons on Bharatanatyam. Recently there are also universites that provide online Bharatanatyam course like the Allgappa university of Tamilnadu and the Sridevinrityalaya.
Recently I am experimenting on possibilities of providing online lessons on Bharatanatyam through my blog. I am working on a site that aims at providing Bharatanatyam lessons online through videos, pictures and explanation. Your comments will be a huge encouragement for me.
I must finally emphasize though that there is NO substitute to a traditional Guru to learn classical Indian dance.
