When I learned Bharatha nAtyam ( between 1955 and 1960) I was taught to keep my feet in a 'V' shape. Later I was surprised to watch some dancer maintain 180 degrees between their feet. Some dancers push their chest forward and their hind quarters backwards. I am amazed by all these modification. Maybe I belong to an old school! But human body must not be contorted into unnatural angles and positions or the body may suffer permanent damage. "Chuvar irundhaal thaan chiththiram!" :)

KathakaLi artists can maintain the 180 degrees between their thighs as well as their feet. But their hip joints are loosened by the application of oil and a massage with the right pressure given by the experts. I have watched the scary videos of ballet dancers using the wall and the floor to forcefully loosen their hip joints. I guess human beings can do anything they really want to do.

@@visalakshik.raman.6278 Who wants to do the 180° feet position in Araimandi? And when? the who may not always be a particular dancer with her or his interpretation of the song, but might be a pressure from the public or a problem in translation of the written acient traditions. That without counting misoginistic men(don't even get me started about ballet) and other horrible people. the question about when is that, I claim, ideals have to be though of with time. not only in the sense that in a single presentations having different feet angles for the Araimandi might be ideal, but also in the multiple senses my claim about time and ideals might have.

I don't even dance.. still here listening to her carefully as if I'm attending an important session..😂

I wanted to comment this. As I tried doing it by widening to 180 degrees and have hurt my knees and lower back. It's so important that we do things based on our body. Thank you Rukmini Mam ❤️❤️

Rukmini is extraordinary, so well trained and so good at training others.

Thank you Rukmini. Being a professional cricket coach, it has helped me. The biomechanics that are directly linked with cricket. Kinesiology, in sports science is all about human movements.

I casually practice bharatanatyam to improve my mexican folk dance and this video explains why my knees hurt.... Extremely helpful

The araimandi is always such a struggle. Thankyou so much for the insight. It makes me feel better knowing that all of us cannot have that perfect araimandi. 🙏🏼

she is splendid classical dancer, great narration, younger generation should emulate her. pranam

Ma'm, technic showed here is amazing...i had a pain in knee joint, could identify the problem after watching this video...heartfelt thanks to u🙏

I love that you have a good understanding of anatomy in injury prevention.

I have exam tommorw and i m learning this carefully at midnight like i have exam of this tommorw mrng

Thank you so much ma'am, i couldn't attend your workshop because of exams, but this is so helpful.

Thank u for such a beautiful technical explanation for the most basic posture of Bharatnatyam.. now I’m totally hooked on for more.

Such a clear explanation... I have ever seen 😍.... thank you mam ❤️

I consider myself fortunate to see this VDO. Very nice. Very impressive. Very logical explaination indeed. Thank you very much.

Tons n tons of love from Tamilnadu❤🤗🙏

Perfect explanation. Not really in knowledge of many almost none.

Wow. I'm not a dancer. I'm a Krav Maga practitioner, but I too found this so instructive. Alignment of the knee and toes is so important in KM techniques as well, to prevent injuries. And such a wonderful way of explaining!

Wao a lot of science behind this.. Thank you Rukminiji.. Love your style.. A bold woman.. Lot of respect and love from Kerala🙏

Love from Bombay mam you’re *truly an inspiration*

I am learning dance for 5 years mam😊 I love your way of dancing🤩 and your choreography luv u mam❤

We need more teachers like her to bring back classical dances into the mainstream. Looking Gorgeous! I wish I could learn but takes so long :-).

Again yes, the tail bone over bent is often seen in specific dance academies, may be the mentors are not educated in this aspects. Also its a bit overly done feel to the audience. Thanks to you the Angel of dance in a perfect manner. Nothing is excess , keep going. ... love your teachings not just the adorable dance of yours.

Thank you so much ! It is very helpful 🙏

Es todo un arte sin duda requiere mucha practica , concentración y pasión por ello

Thank you so much!🙏🏾 I have been trying to open my feet more to get the perfect aramandi.. I already have a bad knee, back and shoulders 😄. Did not realize I was doing more harm than good.

I am not a dancer but I what she says is applicable to any profession. The passion, conviction and practice is common denominator for any successful activity. It could be relate to any profession.

Very nice way of explaining. My daughter immediately realised her mistake . Thank you for your guidance

Fabulous works 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you ma'am..This was really very informative.

Rukmini,an excellent e xplanation. The great teacher.

Thank you so much ma'am for such an important lesson. ❤🙏

Really mam thanks a lot in hobby classes no body tells this techniques. Actually hobby class teachers or gurus have to take care of this becoz students come from 7to 15 age category so have to give very much careful attaintion on this. So Really thank you mam you focus on this issue which many had gone through
