I was recently at a party and when I was introduced as a dancer, a little girl walked up to me and said she was learning the art form too. I was very delighted to know about her keen interest and I continued the conversation by asking her for how long she has been learning, who her teacher is, what style she is learning while she answered first 2 questions to the T, she was not sure about the last one. I think its very important to educate dance students about style as it has historical significance. Here are some of the popular styles:
i. Kalakshetra Stlye,
ii. Melattur Style,
iii. Pandanallur Style,
iv. Mysore Style,
v. Vazhuvoor Style.
A lot of information about each of these styles are available on the internet. And it will be very useful to equip your child with such information.
