The  Bhārata Nāṭyam is the oldest form of sacred dance theater originating in South India.
The term  Nāṭyam in Sanskrit means dance, Bhārata is instead an acronym of the three words  Bhāva (expression),  Rāga (melody),  Tāla (rhythm).

The style known as  Bhārata Nāṭyam is in fact a perfect synthesis of these three elements.
The dancer, or the dancer, through the movements and expressiveness of her body tells stories of gods and heroes. Life in all its forms is represented through this wonderful form of yoga in motion in which even the eyes dance.

APOORVA JAYARAMAN  was born in Bangalore, and met Bhārata Nātyam at the tender age of 5. At 16 she moved to Chennai to study with the great teacher Kalanidhi Narayanan and since then she has had the opportunity to train permanently with Priyadarsini Govind, one of the most eminent dancers of this style of dance.

In his own words ' Dancing, and activities surrounding it, have brought me a sense of fulfillment like nothing else so far has '.

Apoorva has a degree in Physics from the University of Oxford and a PHD in Astronomy from the University of Cambridge (UK).
