Amma shares how learning Bharatanatyam is more than learning dance 

Both Amma and Vanitha Jayan Didi have already emphasized that learning Bharatanatyam is more than learning movement. It consists of the way we show up for class, the pleats of the dance sari, and the way in which we respect the art form. Amma also demonstrates how we should refrain from comparing ourselves to others, and focus on our efforts and practice. Here in this video, Amma is talking about her approach to teaching.
Here, Smt Maheswari Amma talking about how she teaches not just dance; she also teaches how one should conduct themselves according to Indian culture and heritage. ​
