10 Minutes With Shantha : Chapter 25 Summary : Bharatanatyam - KalbhaDescription
Narrated by Shantha :
Shantha describes Kalbha as a groundbreaking fusion of Bharatanatyam and Kalaripayattu, blending the storytelling grace of dance with the raw power of martial arts.
Rooted in India's ancient traditions, it transforms movement into both artistic expression and disciplined combat. Kalari’s stealth, agility, and healing techniques merge with Bharatanatyam’s rhythmic precision and emotive storytelling.
Created by Guru Arundhati, Kalbha is a structured art form that builds strength, breath control, and deep spiritual connection. The curriculum progresses from foundational postures to advanced choreography, pushing dancers to embody both warrior and performer.
Animal-inspired movements, silent breathing, and powerful footwork create a dynamic, immersive experience. Kalbha is more than dance—it’s a philosophy that unites body, mind, and energy.
Students evolve from learners to innovators, refining personal artistry within a classical framework. With rigorous training and silent storytelling, Kalbha redefines Indian contemporary dance. It’s not just movement—it’s a transformation.
