Abstract

Bharatanatyam is an Indian classical dance that originated in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu in southern India. Bharatanatyam dance is a tradition steeped in Indian history and culture. Today, Bharatanatyam is a dance style that encompasses religious and non-religious themes, as well as fusion styles. Characterized by precise movements, sharp edges, and expressive body language, this tradition has delighted audiences for generations. Like many other aspects of Indian tradition, this art form has struggled through times of oppression. However, with the efforts of teachers and students all over the world, Bharatanatyam has been revived to continue to serve the people who find joy in the formal and intuitive expressions embodied in the structure of the dance. It serves as a transforming experience that empowers youngsters with disabilities and autism. Bharatanatyam helps individuals discover their voices, build confidence, and enhance the physical and cognitive abilities needed to overcome life's obstacles. This art form facilitates communication, promoting inclusivity and comprehension among youngsters with varying abilities. Observing the beauty of Bharatanatyam in these young individuals serves as a powerful reminder of the significant influence that art and culture can have on the human spirit, surpassing boundaries and honouring diversity.
