    Answers:

    1. In my opinion, the startting age is 6. This is the age children will have a reasonably strong legs and can start working on their aramandi and steps. They also will understand, remember and pronounce the terms correctly and take the concept of classical dance at this age.

    2. Depending upon the time and energy you have. In one batch you can have upto 6~8 students. More than that will be too much. Also gving personal attention to each student is very important. If one student is very fast in picking up and good in doing the adavu, there is no point in holding she/he for others to catch up. Different students in the same batch can be learning different adavus. This will motivate everyone to learn and practice.

    3. No - I am not a dance teacher. I love Bharatanatyam and work with lot of dance teachers. You can ignore my answeres if you thing they are meaningless. Many teachers in USA may not have a relevant degree in dance. But some universities in Tamilnadu offer Bachelors degree in Bharatanatyam. Alagappa University is one.

    4. I don't think one can say that they have learned everything in Bharatanatyam - even for renouned professionals. I know many professionals still learning diffrent styles years after their Arangetram.

    But normally it takes one to finish Arangetram in 6 to 8 years.

    5. Grace, expressions and perfection in steps and movements. This only comes with years of practice and knowledge.

    6. Thanking Guru and Earth

    7. Very important and only practice can perfect it.

    8. There are many meanings - Waking up God, Keeping up the taalam etc... You need to ask a Guru only.

    How ancient are you? You sound like your in prime college. If you particularly like him you should not do whatever or say whatever given that it would wreck his lifestyles. The exceptional factor you'll be able to do is uncover any one your possess age, now not take a category that he teaches, and give up taking note of Ke$ha. I are aware of it might sound rough to do but when your now not round him you wont consider approximately him.
